Activity Overview
This PER® Spectives™ podcast features a discussion among 3 optometrists on challenges and unmet needs associated with traditional treatments for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)-related dry eye disease (DED) — and opportunities for MGD treatment that may come with new and emerging topical therapies. In addition, the panel discusses myths and misconceptions that may affect outcomes in patients with MGD-DED. This program is designed to help clinicians better appreciate the impact of MGD-DED on patients and optimize the growing toolkit of available therapies.
