This webinar brings together two leading voices in ophthalmology to explore the critical intersection of dry eye disease and ocular surgery. Moderated by Julian Upton, Group Editor of The Ophthalmologist, the session features Professor Sajjad Ahmad, Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital, and Professor Eric Donnenfeld, Cornea, Laser Cataract & Refractive Surgeon at OCLI Vision.

The discussion is structured around four key learning objectives:

  • Understanding Dry Eye Disease – covering its prevalence, impact on patients, and diagnostic approaches.
  • The relationship between Dry Eye and Ocular Surgery – examining how pre-existing or surgery-induced dry eye can affect surgical outcomes.
  • Optimizing the Ocular Surface – practical, perioperative management strategies clinicians can apply before, during, and after surgery.
  • Lacrifill®: clinical overview and real-world application – a focused look at this treatment option and how it’s being used in practice.

The session closes with a live Q&A and discussion, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with both speakers on clinical questions and real-world case scenarios.

Aimed at ophthalmic surgeons and eye care professionals, the webinar offers a practical, evidence-based framework for managing the ocular surface around the time of surgery which is an increasingly recognized factor in patient satisfaction and surgical success.
