Interventional Dry Eye
A new clinical framework connecting disease mechanisms, objective diagnostics, and targeted therapeutic combinations.
A new clinical paradigm for dry eye disease
A structured, evidence-informed framework for the assessment and management of dry eye disease, connecting diagnosis to treatment through clinical logic. WIDES does not promote a collection of technologies. It promotes a clinical framework designed to structure the diagnosis and management of dry eye disease in a more coherent and meaningful way.
A concept, not a catalogue
Interventional Dry Eye is not a list of devices. It is a clinical framework that connects disease mechanisms, objective diagnostics, and targeted therapeutic combinations.
Beyond symptomatic care
Moving past routine lubricant prescriptions toward mechanism-based interventions that address the root causes of ocular surface disease.
The art of combining
The strength of the approach lies in combining diagnostic modalities and treatment technologies in sequences guided by clinical logic.
The Framework
How It Works
Four steps that structure the clinical reasoning behind every treatment decision.
Step-by-Step
The WIDES Approach
A structured, evidence-informed framework for the assessment and management of dry eye disease, connecting diagnosis to treatment through clinical logic.
Dry eye disease must first be characterized according to its dominant clinical profile rather than approached as a uniform symptomatic entity.
A structured evaluation identifies the predominant mechanisms: evaporative, aqueous deficient, inflammatory, obstructive, neurogenic, or mixed.
Diagnostic tools and treatment modalities are positioned according to their clinical utility, as components of an integrated strategy.
Because dry eye disease is dynamic, longitudinal follow-up and therapeutic adjustment remain essential components of effective care.
WIDES does not promote a collection of technologies. It promotes a clinical framework designed to structure the diagnosis and management of dry eye disease in a more coherent and meaningful way.
