The Tear Film Gold Mine: Unlocking Biomarkers for Personalised Dry Eye Care
Date: Thursday 2 July 2026
Time: 7:00–8:00pm BST
Speakers: Prof James Wolffsohn & Connan Tam
Cost: Free
As our understanding of Dry Eye Disease continues to evolve, clinicians are increasingly looking beyond signs and symptoms to identify the underlying mechanisms driving ocular surface disease.
Join Hanson Medical for this educational webinar exploring the growing role of tear film biomarkers in personalised Dry Eye management.
Professor James Wolffsohn will discuss how tear sampling and biomarker analysis can provide valuable insight into ocular surface inflammation and disease activity. Discover how molecular and inflammatory markers may help clinicians identify the root causes of Dry Eye Disease and support more precise treatment strategies tailored to individual patients.
Connan Tam will complement the session with practical clinical case studies, demonstrating how biomarker testing can be integrated into everyday practice and used to guide patient management decisions.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of tear film biomarkers in Dry Eye Disease
- Explore methods of tear sampling and biomarker analysis
