Title: Presbyopia: Contemporary Perspectives on Patient‑Reported Burden, and Evolving Clinical Management Paradigms
Speaker: Dr. Janelle Davison, OD, Dr. Damon Dierker, OD, FAAO, & Dr. Jacob Lang, OD, FAAO
Description: The management of presbyopia is undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift as pharmacologic interventions emerge as a viable treatment option. As the therapeutic landscape rapidly evolves, optometrists need a strong understanding of the underlying science, clinical evidence, and practical considerations for incorporating these novel therapies into patient care. This symposium will provide foundational education on pharmacologic approaches to presbyopia, review the latest clinical data, and discuss strategies for evaluating and integrating these treatments to optimize patient outcomes.
