Dry eye disease (DED) is very common among adults; however, it is often undiagnosed and untreated. As DED can have a considerable impact on a patient’s quality of life, early diagnosis and treatment are essential. In this podcast, experts Marc R. Bloomenstein, OD, FAAO; Cory J. Lappin, OD, MS, FAAO; and Selina R. McGee, OD, FAAO, discuss the roles of ophthalmologists and optometrists in managing DED in an evolving treatment landscape, from screening and diagnosis to disease management.
