Neuromodulation therapies are becoming an increasingly important componentof dry eye management, yet many clinicians still struggle to confidently explain their mechanisms, differentiate available options, and determine appropriate patient selection.

In this practical, case-based program, we will simplify the science behind neuromodulation and provide communication strategies that help patients better understand how these therapies support the body’s natural tear production pathways.

Attendees will learn practical ways to discuss mechanisms of action, set patient expectations, and position neuromodulation within comprehensive treatment plans. We will also compare available neuromodulation approaches, including differences in delivery methods, side effect considerations, and patient suitability across a variety of clinical scenarios. Through real-world cases, participants will gain insight into selecting and combining therapies for patients with differing dry eye drivers and ocular surface needs.

Dry eye disease is increasingly being understood as more than an inflammatory condition alone. TFOS DEWS III emphasizes a driver-based approach to therapy that recognizes the importance of tear film homeostasis, sensory signaling, and lacrimal functional unit integrity.

Join us for an evidence-based discussion on how neuromodulation therapies are reshaping dry eye management by targeting upstream dysfunction within the ocular surface sensory system. Using the dry eye vicious cycle illustration as a clinical framework, this course will examine how restoring physiologic tear stimulation may influence downstream inflammation, tear instability, and patient symptoms.

Attendees will gain practical insight into integrating neuromodulation into comprehensive dry eye treatment plans and learn how to combine therapies based on patient-specific disease drivers and clinical presentation.

• This was a very well done lecture. Great topic!

• Best class/lecture on visual fields!

• She is always a good speaker!

• VF administration and interpretation has changed since I graduated. There are not many classes on VF. Old timers like me can benefit from more educational classes on VF.

• Dr Marrelli is an excellent speaker. She made the topic easy to understand with a lot of practical examples and great advice!

• Great presentation. Nice and steady speed. Big, clear pictures. Thank you! This was such a great review of what we learned in optometry school. Thank you so much. Thank you for pointing out the cons of the VR VF machine. I used one in a practice in 2023 when the FDT died. I still think a screener VF is important in an office, but it is so important to know that the stimulus light doesn't get as bright. I don't think a lot of ODs know that. It is all about the hype of the VF having as many points as HVF and it takes up less space. The headset is somewhat heavy so I agree people with neck problems cannot do them.

Knowing when to refer a patient to the retina clinic can be challenging. Often, multimodal imaging yields results that are challenging to interpret and subtle in presentation. This course will investigate various retinal conditions commonly encountered in optometry practices including epiretinal membrane, commotio retinae, vitreomacular traction, partial thickness and full thickness macular holes, retinal tears/detachments, and lattice degeneration. We will use open-ended discussion to interact with the audience and discuss clinical pearls that will guide management decisions. Should I refer to this — or not?

This event is COPE approved for 1 hour of CE credit.

Not every “dry eye” patient has dryness as the primary problem. This course demystifies nerve-based ocular surface conditions and how to differentiate them from evaporative or aqueous-deficient disease. We’ll cover the “ocular surface” nerve anatomy, key diagnostic clues, imaging findings, and management options for neurotrophic keratopathy and neuropathic pain. Attendees will gain confidence in recognizing these challenging cases early, reducing mismanagement, and guiding patients toward more predictable relief.

Feedback from anonymous survey:

• The speaker was fantastic!! and I say that after having practiced for 20 years in a Cornea specialty ophthalmology practice.

• Knowledgeable speaker; liked how she organized each differential diagnosis and treatment.

• To me, this is a very complex topic and probably need more exposure to diagnostic differentiation.

• Clear, concise, well done.

• Great lecture on a difficult topic.

• Tested corneal sensitivity the very next day for the first time and found Neurotrophic keratitis. Thank-you!

• Brilliant lecture. Dr. McGee is great. The Proparacaine test (slaps forehead) is genius!)

• I could listen to Dr McGee presenting anything.

• Great presentation; one of the better presentations relating to NK.

• First time attending and it was great!

• The polling aspect of the lecture was very interesting in the practical application of the material; also kept one engaged with the process. Thank you for a great discussion.

• She was so thorough and very knowledgeable about the topic.

• I learned quite a bit of practical information, however I would have really appreciated seeing her presentation slides longer, but I realize in an hour talk she could only leave them up for a given amount of time. Is there any possibility of being able to access her presentation slides. They were incredible, Informative, and highly educational. Thank you for a phenomenal speaker!!

• Excellent, knowledegable speaker. Lot of good information to review.

• I would like to listen to the recording as there is so much good information in this lecture.
