[value] => Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerve dysfunction is the underlying cause of neurotrophic keratitis and has an etiologic role in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease and its symptoms. Knowledge of the mechanisms has implications for establishing a diagnosis in patients with ocular surface disease and using neuroregenerative therapy. This educational activity is based on the proceedings of a live CME/CE symposium that took place on Monday, May 2, 2022. The desired results of this activity are to increase understanding of the role of the corneal nerve in ocular surface health and disease as a foundation for enabling proper diagnosis and for selecting optimal treatment.

Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerves have an essential role in maintaining ocular surface health and homeostasis. Manifestations of neurosensory abnormalities affecting corneal innervation include dry eye disease and neurotrophic keratopathy. These conditions can exist as a standalone entity, but they can also be concurrent and have overlapping features, making diagnosis challenging. Early diagnosis is important to allow intervention that can help to restore function and improve quality of life. This educational activity includes real-world cases and discussion on diagnostic modalities used to identify these conditions and options for treatment. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize ophthalmologists with the role of the corneal nerve in maintaining ocular surface homeostasis and practical strategies for screening and diagnosing of ocular surface disease that can arise as the result of corneal nerve dysfunction.
[summary] => In this educational activity, 3 real-world cases of neurotrophic keratitis and dry eye disease are presented, including the diagnostic modalities used to identify the diseases and options for treatment.

Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a degenerative corneal condition due to decreased or absent sensory corneal innervation. Early diagnosis can be challenging. Optimal treatment of all stages of NK is crucial for restoring epithelial integrity, mitigating progression of corneal damage, and preventing recurrent defects. This case-based educational activity can help “unmask” potential best practices in the diagnosis and treatment of all stages of NK.

[value] => Activity Description and Purpose
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) evolves from damage to the sensory fibers of the trigeminal nerve, the ophthalmic branch of which innervates the cornea. Assessment of corneal sensation is fundamental to diagnosis, and early diagnosis is crucial to management because untreated NK can result in loss of vision. This educational activity features real-world cases of patients with various stages of NK and aims to provide ophthalmologists with clinical data and pearls to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of NK. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize ophthalmologists with real-world examples of diagnosing and effectively and safely treating patients with all stages of NK that can be applied to their own practice.

Activity Description
Corneal nerve dysfunction is the underlying cause of neurotrophic keratitis and has an etiologic role in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease and its symptoms. Knowledge of the mechanisms has implications for establishing a diagnosis in patients with ocular surface disease and using neuroregenerative therapy. This educational activity is based on the proceedings of a live CME symposium that took place on Saturday, October 1, 2022. The desired results of this activity are to increase understanding of the role of the corneal nerve in ocular surface health and disease as a foundation for enabling proper diagnosis and for selecting optimal treatment.

[value] => Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerves have an essential role in maintaining ocular surface health and homeostasis. Manifestations of neurosensory abnormalities affecting corneal innervation include dry eye disease and neurotrophic keratopathy. These conditions can exist as a standalone entity, but they can also be concurrent and have overlapping features, making diagnosis challenging. Early diagnosis is important to allow intervention that can help to restore function and improve quality of life. This educational activity includes real-world cases and discussion on diagnostic modalities used to identify these conditions and options for treatment. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize ophthalmologists with the role of the corneal nerve in maintaining ocular surface homeostasis and practical strategies for screening and diagnosing of ocular surface disease that can arise as the result of corneal nerve dysfunction.
[summary] => Early stages of neurotrophic keratitis can be challenging to diagnose, particularly due to the overlapping of symptoms commonly present in other ocular surface diseases. In this educational activity, 3 cases of patients with neurotrophic keratitis are presented, along with discussions on treatment options best suited for each patient.

Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerve dysfunction is the underlying cause of neurotrophic keratitis and has an etiologic role in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease and its symptoms. Knowledge of the mechanisms has implications for establishing a diagnosis in patients with ocular surface disease and using neuroregenerative therapy. This educational activity is based on the proceedings of a live CME/CE symposium that took place on Monday, May 2, 2022. The desired results of this activity are to increase understanding of the role of the corneal nerve in ocular surface health and disease as a foundation for enabling proper diagnosis and for selecting optimal treatment.

Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerve dysfunction is the underlying cause of neurotrophic keratitis and has an etiologic role in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease and its symptoms. Knowledge of the mechanisms has implications for establishing a diagnosis in patients with ocular surface disease and using neuroregenerative therapy. This educational activity is based on the proceedings of a live CME/CE symposium that took place on Monday, May 2, 2022. The desired results of this activity are to increase understanding of the role of the corneal nerve in ocular surface health and disease as a foundation for enabling proper diagnosis and for selecting optimal treatment.

Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a degenerative corneal disease due to decreased or absent sensory corneal innervation. Early diagnosis and treatment of NK are considered important for restoring epithelial integrity and mitigating progression. In advanced stages of the disease, restoring corneal integrity and preventing recurrent defects can be confounded by an inadequate response to treatment(s), neuropathic comorbidities, and atypical presentations. Case-based education can help identify potential best practices in the diagnosis and treatment of all stages of NK. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize clinicians with real-world examples of diagnosing and effectively and safely treating patients with all stages of NK that can be applied to their own practice.

Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerves have an essential role in maintaining ocular surface health and homeostasis. Manifestations of neurosensory abnormalities affecting corneal innervation include dry eye disease and neurotrophic keratopathy. These conditions can exist as a standalone entity, but they can also be concurrent and have overlapping features, making diagnosis challenging. Early diagnosis is important to allow intervention that can help to restore function and improve quality of life. This educational activity includes real-world cases and discussion on diagnostic modalities used to identify these conditions and options for treatment. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize optometrists with the role of the corneal nerve in maintaining ocular surface homeostasis and practical strategies for screening and diagnosing of ocular surface disease that can arise as the result of corneal nerve dysfunction.
[summary] => In this educational activity, 3 real-world cases of neurotrophic keratitis and dry eye disease are presented, including the diagnostic modalities used to identify the diseases and options for treatment.

Corneal nerve dysfunction is the underlying cause of neurotrophic keratitis and has an etiologic role in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease and its symptoms. Knowledge of the mechanisms has implications for establishing a diagnosis in patients with ocular surface disease and using neuroregenerative therapy. This educational activity is based on the proceedings of a live CME/CE symposium that took place on Monday, May 2, 2022. The desired results of this activity are to increase understanding of the role of the corneal nerve in ocular surface health and disease as a foundation for enabling proper diagnosis and for selecting optimal treatment.

Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a degenerative corneal condition due to decreased or absent sensory corneal innervation. Early diagnosis can be challenging. Optimal treatment of all stages of NK is crucial for restoring epithelial integrity, mitigating progression of corneal damage, and preventing recurrent defects. This case-based educational activity can help “unmask” potential best practices in the diagnosis and treatment of all stages of NK.

[value] => Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerves have an essential role in maintaining ocular surface health and homeostasis. Manifestations of neurosensory abnormalities affecting corneal innervation include dry eye disease and neurotrophic keratopathy. These conditions can exist as a standalone entity, but they can also be concurrent and have overlapping features, making diagnosis challenging. Early diagnosis is important to allow intervention that can help to restore function and improve quality of life. This educational activity includes real-world cases and discussion on diagnostic modalities used to identify these conditions and options for treatment. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize optometrists with the role of the corneal nerve in maintaining ocular surface homeostasis and practical strategies for screening and diagnosing of ocular surface disease that can arise as the result of corneal nerve dysfunction.
[summary] => Early stages of neurotrophic keratitis can be challenging to diagnose, particularly due to the overlapping of symptoms commonly present in other ocular surface diseases. In this educational activity, 3 cases of patients with neurotrophic keratitis are presented, along with discussions on treatment options best suited for each patient.

[value] => Activity Description and Purpose
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a degenerative corneal disease due to decreased or absent sensory corneal innervation. Early diagnosis and treatment of NK are considered important for restoring epithelial integrity and mitigating progression. In advanced stages of the disease, restoring corneal integrity and preventing recurrent defects can be confounded by an inadequate response to treatment(s), neuropathic comorbidities, and atypical presentations. Case-based education can help identify potential best practices in the diagnosis and treatment of all stages of NK. The desired results of this educational activity are to familiarize clinicians with real-world examples of diagnosing and effectively and safely treating patients with all stages of NK that can be applied to their own practice.
[summary] => This educational activity will familiarize clinicians with real-world examples of diagnosing and effectively and safely treating patients with all stages of neurotrophic keratitis that can be applied to their own practice.

Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerves play an essential role in the preservation of optimal ocular health. Alterations of the delicate balance of homeostatic and sensory functions of corneal nerves result in the pathogenesis of several ocular surface diseases, including dry eye disease, neurotrophic keratitis, and neuropathic corneal pain. This educational activity will explore the role of the structural and functional integrity of corneal nerves in ocular health preservation and review the pathogenesis of disease contributing to corneal nerve dysfunction. Some of the current and future therapeutic options for the prevention and management of corneal nerve dysfunction in ocular surface disease will also be reviewed.

Activity Description and Purpose
Corneal nerves have an essential role in maintaining ocular surface health and homeostasis. Manifestations of neurosensory abnormalities affecting corneal innervation include dry eye disease, neurotrophic keratopathy, and neuropathic corneal pain. These conditions can exist as a standalone entity, but they can also be concurrent and have overlapping features, making diagnosis challenging. Early diagnosis of dry eye disease, neurotrophic keratopathy, and neuropathic corneal pain is important to allow intervention that can help to restore function and improve quality of life. This educational activity reviews common diagnostic modalities that can be used by clinicians to identify these conditions.

Neurotrophic keratitis is a rare but potentially sight-threatening corneal degenerative disease. Early recognition of neurotrophic keratitis is important to allow appropriate treatment that will promote corneal healing and prevent progression to more extensive, permanent corneal destruction. The content of this activity is based on the proceedings of a live CME symposium that covered the pathogenesis of neurotrophic keratitis, diagnostic evaluations, and strategies for management through reviews of the literature and clinical data, discussions among corneal experts, and detailed case histories of patients with varying stages of neurotrophic keratitis.

[value] => Activity Description and Purpose
Optimal outcomes in patients with neurotrophic keratitis (NK), a progressively damaging corneal disease, require a timely and accurate diagnosis and effective treatment that heals and reinnervates the corneal epithelium. Diagnosis and treatment of NK can be challenging because of a symptom and sign profile that overlaps with that of other ocular diseases, such as dry eye disease; its concomitant presence with other ocular or systemic diseases, such as glaucoma and diabetes; and a lack of patients reporting symptoms due to reduced sensation in the cornea. The following case theater features 4 real-life examples of all stages of NK, along with discussions on diagnosis and treatment.
