Technology Overview: Treating Ocular Surface Disease

Damon Dierker, OD, FAAO, joins host Marc R. Bloomenstein, OD, FAAO, to discuss recent innovations in technology to help manage ocular surface disease. Dr. Dierker details his experience using Tixel (Novoxel), a treatment that uses controlled heat to treat evaporative dry eye disease by unclogging meibomian glands and enhancing tear stability. The two physicians further review additional technologies that have improved their ability to manage ocular surface disease in patients.
