This course invites you to look beyond the ocular surface to the full spectrum of OTC treatments. One treatment does not fit all. Knowing the right approach is everything. We will explore the pros, cons, and the critical "when" and "why" behind each option. This course arms you with actionable strategies to improve outcomes.
