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.

This program is supported by an independent medical educational grant from Mylan Inc., a Viatris Company.

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.

• Best lecture this year!

• She is always informative!

• Always enjoy Dr. Marelli's glaucoma presentation. Good tips on what to look for in visual field interpretation.

• Please bring Dr Marrelli back for more lectures!

• 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.

• Nice slides and speaker was great!

• Best Visual field classes I've taken in a long time. Thank you.

This case-based lecture outlines the clinical role of autologous serum tears in the management of ocular surface disease. It reviews what serum tears are, why they are used, which patients are ideal candidates, and when clinicians should consider prescribing them earlier in the treatment course. Case examples demonstrate practical decision-making in moderate-to-severe dry eye disease, aqueous-deficient dry eye, Sjögren disease, neurotrophic keratopathy, persistent epithelial defects, and post-surgical ocular surface compromise.

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

Are you ready to conquer keratoconus? Learn how to halt progression, preserve vision, and optimize outcomes through corneal collagen cross-linking, surgical advances, and specialized contact lens options for visual rehabilitation and long-term success.
