Bill Harvey: Very ’eavy, very ’umble

I have participated in a number of CET conferences lately. No surprises to find that key topics have been dry eye disease and myopia management. What struck me, and I know through conversation with colleagues is a concern, is an all too prevalent view that both DED and myopia might be managed by one single approach, whether that be a specific lubricant or contact lens design. Surely the inclusion of the word ‘multifactorial’ in the latest TFOS DEWSII definition of DED reminds us that each patient may have different influences and require a menu of interventions tailored to them and requiring regular revision.
