Dry eye: history and symptoms

OT has published a series of three skills guide videos focused on dry eye. These guides will explore the topics of history and symptoms, the dry eye assessment and investigative techniques, and dry eye therapeutic management.

Each of the video guides, which are between 10 and 22 minutes long, are presented by Dr Sònia Travé Huarte, a post-doctoral researcher at Aston University.

This skills guide, Dry eye: history and symptoms, introduces the viewer to how to tailor history and symptoms in a specialist dry eye clinic. Dr Sònia Travé Huarte demonstrates the process and explores a range of recognised dry eye questionnaires that can be used in practice.

This dry eye skills guide video series has been adapted from a past CPD Video exam with optometrist Travé Huarte. Titled Dry eye disease: diagnosis, subclassification and management, the 2023 CPD Video exam demonstrates how to investigate and diagnose dry eye disease, from simple slit lamp techniques to more complex equipment, such as a meibographer and a tear osmolarity system. The now-closed CPD video can be watched in full in OT’s Education library.
