Diagnosing and Treating Early Neurotrophic Keratitis (Archived CME Webcast)
This educational activity has expired. You will not be able to claim credit for this activity.
Activity Description
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare disease with serious consequences to a patient’s vision. It can be less challenging to recognize the tell-tale clinical signs of advanced stages of NK, making early cases of NK easier to overlook in today’s busy practices. Signs and symptoms of early stages of NK can overlap with those of more commonly seen ocular surface diseases, such as dry eye disease. In this webcast, Marjan Farid, MD, and Justin A. Schweitzer, OD, FAAO, present cases involving patients with early NK and discuss real-world application of diagnostic and treatment strategies that can provide the best opportunities to prevent progression in patients. The desired results of this activity are to aid clinicians in the early diagnosis and treatment of NK to prevent progression and improve patient outcomes.
