Zooming in on the Education and Empowerment of Patients in AMD Care
FDA-approved agents that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) constitute important elements of optimal management of AMD. Prior authorization (PA) requirements limit patient access to these therapies. Navigating the PA process can be frustrating for patients, and may result in treatment abandonment leading to suboptimal outcomes. Hence, there is a need for patients to become advocates of their treatment choice.
The final module of this CME Outfitters Snack series describes step ... |

Minimizing the Burden of Prior Authorization in AMD Through Actionable Strategies and Improved Communication
The development of anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents has revolutionized the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Nevertheless, optimal management of AMD is impeded by challenges in access to FDA-approved therapies. Step therapy, a type of prior authorization (PA) instituted by the payer, mandates that more cost-effective therapies be used before more expensive alternatives, in a stepwise approach. However, applying this strategy to vision-threatening disea... |

Keeping the Patient in the Center in AMD Care
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of legal blindness in adults over age 50, but the development of agents that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has revolutionized its treatment. There are currently two FDA-approved agents (ranibizumab and aflibercept) and one off-label anti-VEGF agent (bevacizumab) being used to treat patients with AMD, and data from emerging anti-VEGF agents have also demonstrated efficacy in improving visual acuity. However, step the... |

Photodynamic Therapy Then & Now: Current Concepts for Real-World Use
Verteporfin for photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been approved for decades as a treatment for retinal disorders. Eye care professionals need to understand all the real-world clinical scenarios in which the use of PDT alone or in combination with anti-VEGF therapy can be a more efficacious treatment option than anti-VEGF monotherapy.
View this engaging webinar to gain insight into PDT treatment options as demonstrated with case examples presented by leading retina specialists. |

Psoriasis and Psychological Comorbidities
Recent research suggests that the psychological effects of psoriasis are more complex than a simple response to living with a skin disease associated with stigma. Psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation are now understood as comorbidities of psoriasis. This roundtable discussion brings together expert clinicians to discuss the psychological comorbidities of psoriasis. They also discuss how clinicians treating patients with psoriasis can screen for these comorb... |

Glaucoma Treatment: Tackling Real-World Cases
Topical pharmacologic therapy is the primary treatment for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. However, in many patients multiple medications and different classes of drugs are often needed before there is adequate IOP control. After nearly a decade without new pharmacologic treatments, two new formulations were approved in late 2017. View this case-based webinar to learn how the latest treatments are helping to manage glaucoma. |

Current and Future Glaucoma Management: An Update on Existing Options and the Therapeutic Pipeline
Topical pharmacologic therapy is the mainstay primary treatment for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension. Unfortunately, many patients need to be on multiple medications and different classes of drugs before there is adequate intraocular pressure (IOP) control. And for some patients, visual field loss will progress despite adequate IOP control. Until recently, no new topical pharmacologic treatments had been approved in the United States for more than a deca... |

Sustained-Release Devices for the Treatment of Chronic Eye Diseases
Traditional topical drug delivery for the treatment of ocular diseases has a number of challenges including compliance; tearing and blinking, which results in medication spillage and drug dilution; tear film turnover; and inadequate absorption. In addition, medication noncompliance and loss to follow-up are additional common problems, especially for patients with with chronic diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and glaucoma.
To combat these challenges to t... |

Updates in Dry Eye Disease: Diagnosing and Treating Patients with Ocular Surface Disease
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Nearly 33% of patients in eye care clinics present with complaints about dry eye signs and symptoms. Clinicians remain challenged with both the diagnosis and best treatment options for dry eye disease (DED) because, to date, multiple causes of the disorder have been identified. Yet the proportion of US adults who reported having symptoms of DED seemed to plateau from 2015-2018, with about 41% noting occasional DED and 12% noting frequent DED. Extrapolating those figures t... |

Visually Induced Trigeminal Dysphoria: A Potential Leading Source of Headaches, Eyestrain, and Dry Eye Sensation
Trigeminal dysphoria is a term that describes a variety of symptoms including headaches, eyestrain, dry eye sensation, neck, and shoulder pain. New research suggests that computer vision syndrome, also called digital eye strain, is a form of visually induced trigeminal dysphoria. Clinicians who treat patients with these symptoms must be aware and understand why patients with trigeminal dysphoria are symptomatic and how to treat it. This journal supplement addresses these topics. |
