This educational activity is intended to help ophthalmologists and optometrists optimize the treatment of patients with dry eye disease (DED). Learners will review the function of the tear film in maintaining a healthy ocular surface and evaluate clinical trial data for agents under development for the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)-associated DED. A focus on incorporating diagnostic strategies that examine meibomian gland function in routine practice will help clinicians and designing evidence-based treatment plans for patients with MGD-associated DED. The desired results of this activity are to cement clinicians knowledge of the role of evaporation in the pathogenesis of MGD and help them obtain practical strategies for screening, diagnosis, and effective treatment that can improve patient outcomes.
