Abstract
Dry eye disease is becoming a challenging disease. The more we know about aetiology the more it becomes difficult to manage it. Understanding the pathology is important in treatment pathways. Another challenge is the mismatch between signs and symptoms. Moreover, psychological effects of dry eye on patient’s emotional status are often ignored. I will discuss my approach to patients with dry eye and how to make the best outcomes of dry eye patients. A systematic approach including focus on signs and symptoms will be discussed. Finally, I will go through the current and future modalities of treatment.
Biography
Samer Hamada is an Ophthalmologist and Cornea Surgeon performing eye surgeries at his practice, The Eye Clinic London. With nearly two decades of experience, he is recognized as a leading expert in the field of Cataract, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) and Corneal Surgeries, and is frequently asked to lecture at International Eye Conferences. He has performed thousands of cataract surgeries and RLE surgeries using the latest technological advancements in ophthalmology. He offers laser cataract surgery with the option of artificial lenses, called intraocular lenses (IOLs), to replace the natural eye lens that has been clouded by a cataract. These IOLs are used for the restoration of near, intermediate and far vision. He is one of the very few eye surgeons who offer trifocal intraocular lens implants.
