Keynote webinar | Spotlight on dry eye disease

LIVE: 28 May 2026, 13:00–14:00 (CEST)

Dry eye disease (DED) is highly prevalent and significantly impacts quality of life. But complex underlying mechanisms and variable symptom–sign presentation make it challenging to diagnose and treat. New insights into disease mechanisms, advances in diagnostic tools, and emerging treatments are transforming how clinicians approach both assessment and long-term management.
 
In this webinar brought to you by Springer Medicine and Eye, leading specialists will distil the latest developments and provide practical guidance for diagnosing, grading, and managing DED in busy clinical settings.

An application has been made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME/CPD accreditation of this event.
