The Neural Frontier: Mapping Neurostimulation Across the DED Patient Spectrum for Refractive Surgery

Thanks for your interest in this podcast. Please read this important program information before listening.

Episode Description

The lacrimal functional unit, which includes the lacrimal glands and meibomian glands, can be stimulated via the trigeminal nerve to trigger production of the tear film. This approach can be used to manage dry eye disease (DED) in patients undergoing corneal refractive surgery. In this podcast, an expert explores opportunities to use this approach to treat patients with DED.
