The TFOS DEWS III report provides an updated framework for understanding and managing dry eye disease, but translating an extensive consensus report into a busy clinical schedule can be challenging. This practical course organizes the recommendations into a repeatable two-visit workflow for private practice optometry. Attendees will learn how to identify treat-first factors such as Demodex, exposure, mechanical issues, medications, and environmental contributors; select focused diagnostic testing; differentiate aqueous-deficient, evaporative, inflammatory, and mixed disease; and use follow-up findings to continue, escalate, or redirect treatment. The emphasis is on efficient clinical reasoning, clear patient communication, and workflows that can be implemented in an independent practice.
