Newly emerging presbyopia correcting drops, their mechanisms of action and clinical evidence will be emphasized.
Focus on the Lids for OSD Success (1CE hour)

Anatomy and pathophysiology of the eyelid including ptosis, meibomian gland dysfunction and Demodex blepharitis will be highlighted. Digital device use and mask associated dry eye will be covered. This lecture will describe how compromises to the lids can have a cascading effect on the ocular surface.
The Influence of Hormones on Ocular Surface Disease (1CE hour)
