Webinar 1: Amniotic membranes and the ocular surface
This webinar will explore the use of amniotic membrane transplantation as a procedure to manage dry eye disease and promote ocular surface health. Discover the potential indications for its application in a clinical optometric setting, supported by the relevant literature, while gaining insights into its efficacy and clinical applications.
The session will feature case examples, showcasing real-world patients with dry eye disease who have undergone treatment with amniotic membrane. Through these cases, various clinical outcomes will be defined, and the therapeutic benefits of this stage 4 management approach will be highlighted.
Learning outcomes
- Practitioners will recognise the role of amniotic membranes in the management of dry eye disease
- The ability to use up to date evidence-based technology to support knowledge development
- Identify the specific recommendations that can support and improve adherence to a prescribed dry eye management regimen.
