Ocular Surface, Dry Eye and Inflammatory Eye Diseases

Ocular surface disorders and inflammatory eye diseases are increasingly recognized as important causes of discomfort, visual disturbance, and reduced quality of life. This session explores dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, allergic eye disease, ocular inflammation, and related surface disorders. Discussions will focus on modern diagnostic approaches, tear-film assessment, imaging, inflammatory biomarkers, and personalized treatment strategies. Advances in pharmacological therapies, lubricating formulations, procedural treatments, and regenerative approaches will also be considered. The relationship between systemic health, environmental factors, lifestyle, and ocular surface disease will receive attention. Experts will share clinical experiences and research findings related to chronic and complex cases. Emerging technologies may help improve disease monitoring and treatment selection.
