DED Magnified: A Real-World Case Library - Case 3

Activity Description and Purpose

Most patients with cataracts also have dry eye disease (DED), and optimization of the ocular surface prior to cataract surgery is crucial for successful surgical outcomes. More recent additions to an already large treatment armamentarium available for DED can make it challenging to select the treatment(s) that will successfully manage a patient’s DED quickly so that surgery can proceed. In this third case of the DED Magnified: A Real-World Case Library series, Sheri Rowan, MD, walks through her effective and successful treatment of a patient with DED and severe bilateral cataracts.

Target Audience

This educational activity is intended for ophthalmologists and optometrists.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
