This lecture will explore how dry eye treatments including IPL, low-level light therapy (LLLT), radiofrequency (RF), and microblepharoexfoliation (MBE) naturally lend aesthetic benefits in a dry eye-focused optometric practice. Attendees will learn the shared pathophysiological targets between ocular and facial conditions (e.g., rosacea), the overlap in technologies, and how to effectively incorporate aesthetic treatments into an optometric practice. Clinical cases, treatment protocols, and patient communication strategies will be discussed.

ABOUT CLOSE:

CLOSE is a year-long program that guides clinicians in adopting practical, step-by-step strategies for better diagnosis and management of ocular surface disease. This year-long initiative will have 5 phases- each built around a webinar. Participants will receive useful resources to guide them along with each lecture, and an open Q&A session at the end of each phase.

Important notice:Continuing Education (CE) will not be offered for this initiative. This is intended for clinicians who want to change the trajectory of their practice by enhancing patient outcomes.

Building Upon Phase 2: In Phase 2, we did a deep dive into diagnostic and treatment protocols. We also provided you a basis for creating a logical flow to a diagnostic and treatment algorithm in your practice.

Two Parts to Coding & Billing:‍ ‍Dr. Brujic introduces the two sides to billing & coding — assigning the correct ICD-10 codes and translating services to 3rd party payors or patients.

ICD-10 Codes: Different ICD-10 codes will be discussed and their uses regarding dry eye, including types of clinic visits, in-office diagnostic testing, and in-office procedures. We also review how to improve your procedure notes and what these should include.

Featured Presenters: Dr. Mile Brujic and Dr. Dave Kading

Date and Time: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 | 5:30 PM 6:30 PM
