Although dry eyes are often considered to be just a nuisance, chronic, untreated dry eye disease can cause abrasions and corneal ulcers, leading to permanently impaired vision. In this video, NPs and PAs will find tips for differentiating dry eye disease from other forms of red eye, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to restoring homeostasis of the ocular surface, and long-term options to prevent a resurgence of the disease and its symptoms.
