STUDENT WORKSHOP OF THE OCULAR SURFACE SYMPOSIUM
Bringing Clinical Experience to the Classroom
Hands-on training in dry eye management for optometric students provided by experienced clinicians
STUDENT WORKSHOP OF THE OCULAR SURFACE
The Student Workshop of the Ocular Surface Symposium, also known as SWOS, is a 3-hour workshop designated to supplement the educational process already in place within academic institutions. Through a 45-minute didactic program and a 2-hour hands on workshop, attendees will experience the latest in dry eye diagnostics and treatments.
This interactive program helps provide clinical guidance to simplify the process of managing ocular surface disease. This live seminar allows you to work with a veteran, expert optometrist who will provide guidance on diagnosis and management strategies during an interactive lecture. Then you will have the opportunity to work alongside the industry expert in the workshop component, experiencing the latest technologies in ocular surface disease.
The virtual programs provide an interactive guided discussion on advanced ocular surface disease management strategies. We recruit industry experts who share current and emerging technologies for managing anterior segment disease.
SWOS is a remarkable program that provides optometry students with critical, hands-on experience working with the latest innovations in ocular surface disease under expert guidance. It builds understanding of how incorporation of the technologies in treatment strategies occurs in clinical practice. Get ready to immerse yourself in the SWOS experience.

Dry Eye Education is fast moving. More companies have brought their dry eye diagnostic and treatment options to the North American marketplace in the last 5 years than in the last 15 years combined. Science is constantly advancing and bringing about new thought patterns into disease etiology, diagnosis and treatments. SWOS works to bring clarity and a real-world, hands on approach to looking at the disease of dry eyes in an effort to better patient outcomes.
