Lifting Lids: Update on the Medical Treatment of Acquired Blepharoptosis (Archived CME Webcast)
This educational activity has expired. You will not be able to claim credit for this activity.
Activity Description and Purpose
Blepharoptosis is a condition that affects millions worldwide, but it is often overlooked and undertreated. Until recently, surgical procedures were the most appropriate treatments to correct ptotic eyelids, leaving both clinicians and patients with few less-invasive treatment solutions. A topical drop is now available to treat forms of acquired ptosis. The following webcast features select presentations from a series of live webinars on the diagnosis and treatment of blepharoptosis. A review of clinical data on both the on-label treatment and several off-label treatments for ptosis as well as many real-world cases of patients with ptosis are included to help clinicians gain comfort and confidence in their ability to optimally treat their patients.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for ophthalmologists.
