Understanding Dry Eyes. Optimising the tear film.

Sebastian Marx from the JENVIS Research Centre at Ernst Abbe University will provide exciting insights into the topic of ‘dry eyes’. You will receive best-practice tips on improving the tear film, such as LLLT or IPL. - For noticeably fewer CL dropouts, more customer satisfaction and loyality.

Sicca syndrome and the optician

More than 300 million people worldwide and around 10 million in Germany currently suffer from the symptoms of dry eyes. Moisturising disturbances of the corneal surface are known to manifest themselves not only through irritated and tired eyes.

In addition to fluctuations in visual acuity, a massive intolerance to contact lenses (CLD) usually also occurs.

As an optician, you know these ‘problem customers’: they are dissatisfied with their glasses or stop wearing their contact lenses.

A significant improvement in the tear film promises a better quality of life for all spectacle and contact lens wearers.

For the optician, this means:

  • noticeably fewer CL drop-outs
  • more customer satisfaction
  • greater customer loyalty.
