Chronic Versus Acute: Rethinking Dry Eye Disease

This continuing education activity (CE) captures content from a virtual roundtable discussion. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION Dry eye disease (DED) is a significant public health issue that threatens patient economic productivity and quality of life. About 16 million Americans have a formal DED diagnosis, but the true incidence is likely much higher because many who are symptomatic may not seek medical care. This supplement addresses this issue and others related to managing DED and providing the ...

Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: Management Updates and Challenging Clinical Cases

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare, relapsing, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that mainly manifests through recurrent attacks of optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis. NMOSD is often misdiagnosed in the early stages, but the integration of newer diagnostic criteria may assist in an earlier and more accurate differential diagnosis. Until recently, treatment options for NMOSD have been limited―but several approved biologic thera...

Ocular Surface Health and Surgical Outcomes

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. This activity will help to inform cli­nicians on methods to improve the care of patients with DED.

Tracking and Treating Uveitic Macular Edema: A Difficult Dilemma

Uveitic macular edema (UME) has a wide variety of causes. If not appropriately treated, it eventually causes damage to the photoreceptors in the macula, resulting in vision-threatening complications like macular ischemia or macular hole formation. Corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for uveitic inflammation and UME. However, they are not generally considered to be appropriate for long-term treatment due to adverse effects, including increased intraocular pressure and cataract in local...

Diabetic Macular Edema: Employing Inflammatory Markers to Predict Improved Visual Outcomes

Real-world outcomes with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy in the treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) do not always replicate those seen in clinical studies. In part, these discrepancies are due to treatment burden, lack of adherence, undertreatment, and incomplete response to anti-VEGF therapies. The identification of several inflammatory cytokines in the aqueous and vitreous humor whose concentrations correlate closely with the severity o...

nAMD and DME Management: Rapid Response From ARVO

Real-world outcomes with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies in the management of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME) are often not comparable to those of clinical studies. Discrepancies in these outcomes have been associated with undertreatment due to high treatment burden and the associated loss of patient adherence to dosing schedules. Newer therapies with novel mechanisms that extend intervals between dosing...

Geographic Atrophy: Rapid Response from ARVO

Geographic atrophy (GA) is a pathological deterioration of the retina seen in the late stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It affects 20% of people with AMD, and its prevalence increases exponentially with age. Until recently, there were no treatment options for GA, but investigation into the complement system and its role in the pathogenesis of GA has led to targeted therapies that have revolutionized the treatment paradigm. Because of the recent approval of one of these therapi...

A Class Act in Glaucoma Management: Differentiating Rho Kinase Inhibitors From the Pack

Medical management of glaucoma primarily focuses on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) by decreasing aqueous production, reducing episcleral venous pressure, and/or increasing uveoscleral and trabecular outflow. Recently approved agents have expanded treatment options beyond the traditional mainstays of prostaglandin analogues and β-blockers, engaging Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibition to improve outcomes for patients with glaucoma. In this CE monograph, experts in the field will review the clinic...

Eyeing the Options for Treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye disease (DED) is highly prevalent but frequently underdiagnosed and subsequently undertreated. Studies have demonstrated that meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of the development and progression of evaporative DED, caused by a deficient tear film lipid layer that leads to increased tear evaporation. New and emerging treatments with novel mechanisms of action are being investigated that manage the signs and symptoms of DED associated with MGD and offer the potential f...

Case Challenges in nAMD and DME Management: Achieving Durable Response

The management of diabetic macular edema (DME) and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies has provided enhanced visual outcomes for many patients. However, the high treatment burden associated with anti-VEGF therapies can lead to lack of patient adherence, resulting in suboptimal outcomes. Personalized treatment protocols using FDA-approved agents and newer novel delivery systems, along with agents with uni...

Meeting Milestones in nAMD and DME Management: What's New?

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy has revolutionized treatment paradigms for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). However, these agents are associated with a high treatment burden because of the injection frequency, and a substantial number of patients do not adhere to their treatment schedules, resulting in suboptimal response to therapy. To address these issues, new dosage regimens and surgical drug delivery approaches hav...
