World Council of Optometry and Alcon to Launch “WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel” Tool for Dry Eye Disease

The World Council of Optometry (WCO) and Alcon invite eye care professionals worldwide to the launch of a new tool to help with the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease. Registration is now open for the May 9 “Dry Eye Spotlight 4: WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel” webinar, the culmination of an initial series of complimentary global dry eye disease education initiative online events. The WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel, developed by educators Professors Jennifer Craig, Lyndon Jones, and James Wolffsohn, is an at-a-glance, interactive tool designed to easily reference the three pillars of mitigation, measurement, and management, and to be accessible for broadest possible use, according to Alcon.

A question-and-answer session will follow the launch to give participants exclusive access to the faculty members and further explore the WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel. Register for the May 9 webinar at https://bit.ly/DryEyeWheel.
