Aesthetics and the Ocular Surface

Course overview

The modern beauty industry continues to expand, with cosmetic products, aesthetic procedures, eyelash enhancements, and periocular treatments becoming increasingly common among patients. Many of these procedures have unintended consequences on ocular surface health, contributing to dry eye disease, MGD, blepharitis, allergic reactions, contact lens intolerance, and chronic inflammation. Learn to identify potentially harmful ingredients and practices, evaluate common aesthetic complaints, recognize complications, and provide evidence-based recommendations that support both ocular health and patient aesthetic goals.
