The World Council of Optometry (WCO) and Alcon are extending an invitation to eye care professionals worldwide to join them at the launch of a new tool that aids in the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease.
Interested parties can now register for the "Dry Eye Spotlight 4: WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel" webinar taking place on May 9.
This event marks the culmination of a series of free global dry eye disease educational initiatives that have taken place online. The WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel has been developed by Professors Jennifer Craig, Lyndon Jones, and James Wolffsohn. It is an interactive, at-a-glance tool that makes it easy to reference the three pillars of mitigation, measurement, and management. The tool is designed to be accessible for the broadest possible use, according to Alcon.
Following the launch of the WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel, participants will have the exclusive opportunity to engage with faculty members in a question-and-answer session. Interested parties can register for the May 9 webinar here.
The "Dry Eye Spotlight 4: WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel" webinar will be presented independently in three different time zones, allowing live interaction between faculty and attendees on Tuesday, May 9.
The available time zones are:
5 p.m HKT/SST for Hong Kong/Singapore
6 p.m. CET for Central Europe
9 p.m. EDT for Eastern Daylight Saving.

The first three webinars in the series, "Dry Eye Spotlight 1: Mitigation", "Dry Eye Spotlight 2: Measurement", and "Dry Eye Spotlight 3: Management", are now available on demand at dryeye.worldcouncilofoptometry.info.
The website for the dry eye disease education initiative also offers other practical, evidence-based tools that eye care professionals can use, regardless of their location or resources. Additionally, the "Dry Eye Spotlight 4: WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel" webinar and the tool itself will be available on demand after the May 9 event.
