In this first episode of the EuCornea Independent Medical Education Series, Prof. Sotiria Palioura and Prof. Mario Nubile unpack key findings from the 2024 ESCRS Clinical Trends Survey, revealing how often surgeons actually screen for ocular surface disease (OSD).
Despite its prevalence, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) often slips under the radar before cataract and refractive surgery, leading to suboptimal outcomes and patient dissatisfaction. This discussion explores how integrating systematic OSD evaluation, meibomian gland assessment and patient education into daily workflows can improve surgical precision, satisfaction and safety.
In Episode 2 of the EuCornea Independent Medical Education Series, Prof. Sotiria Palioura and Prof. Mario Nubile uncover one of ocular surface disease’s most overlooked culprits: Demodex blepharitis.
From missed diagnoses to modern management, they explore how systematic screening, patient education, and new in-office and at-home treatments can close the gap. The discussion also spotlights promising emerging therapeutic options shown to eradicate Demodex mites, redefining how clinicians approach lid disease.
