Dr.Rishi Mohan
A large proportion (15-40%) of routine patients managed in a general Ophthalmologist’s Clinic, pertain to complaints of OSD & its variants.
Confusions reign, associated with the DD, contributory factors, applicability of specific syndromes such as CVS, LIDE & CLIDE & masquerades. Concerns related to selection of lubricants, roles of adjuncts such as immune-modulators & the newer molecules (eg chloroquine & rebamipide) shall be addressed, complete with an update on existing protocols. Changing Paradigms of OHHQ & role of Vit D3 shall be discussed.
This IC has been largely re-designed from last year’s highly successful IC with the inclusion of new topics and revised content to reflect the changes in our understanding and management of OSD.
TOPICS – What is it – allergy, infection or dryness, Conventional Management Pearls, OSD Masquerades, Hyperosmolarity & Osmoprotection, MGD, OHHQ (Ocular Homeostasis & Hydration Quotient), topical Chloroquine, Cyclosporin A, Rebamipide, Role of Vit D3
