Dry eye management is a mainstay of any part of eye care and is essential practice when it comes to myopia management.
Sarah Farrant who serves as the United Kingdom’s ambassador for the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society (TFOS) took part in a Q&A with MyopiaProfile, talking about her experience with dry eye management as a clinical optometrist.
She covers topics such as;
- Why is it important to you to assess dry eye as part of myopia management?
- How does dry eye status potentially interact with management strategies for myopia?
- What dry eye metrics of the MYAH offer you the most valuable insights when managing the ocular surface in young myopic patients?
- Are there any challenges when it comes to assessing dry eye in a paediatric population, and how do you manage these?
- What new technologies or knowledge (e.g. DEWS II) have helped you the most in best-practice management of dry eye?
