The World Council of Optometry (WCO) and Alcon have released a three-part video series, summarising the recommendations from the recently published Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society Dry Eye Workshop III (TFOS DEWS III) report.
The videos summarise the overall report, review the diagnostic methodology section, and highlight elements of the management and therapy report.
The video segments feature Professors Jennifer Craig, Lyndon Jones, and James Wolffsohn – all of whom were on the TFOS DEWS III steering committee.
WCO President Dr Cindy Tromans said while it’s crucial that eye care professionals (ECPs) stay up-to-date on the latest research and findings, “the pace of life may get in the way of reading TFOS DEWS III in its entirety”.
“This compact video series is easily digestible, creating an important resource for clinicians and educators looking to continuously improve their practice using the most recent evidence.”
Carla Mack, global head of professional education and development at Alcon, said the aim of the video series was to “translate the latest science and expert perspectives into accessible education material, helping empower ECPs to better understand, identify, measure, and manage this condition in their practices”.
The release of the video series follows the recent launch of the Dry Eye Management Map, an interactive online tool designed to help optometrists navigate dry eye disease management. The Map generates applicable management approaches with the latest TFOS DEWS III guidance.
