Eye complications are common in EB, but the incidence varies widely between subtypes. As a result, eye care in EB can be very easy or highly delicate and demanding.
In this EB Clinet Online Seminar, eye care specialist Dr Michael Baertschi from Bern, Switzerland, gives a comprehensive overview of the most common symptoms and outlines possible long-term complications. He emphasises the importance of starting early with preventive measures and the huge impact of consistent multidisciplinary education and collaboration in the treatment process. The discussion of current treatment options as well as future possibilities is completed by practical tips for the use of therapeutic contact lenses and information on the results that can be achieved with this therapy option. The online seminar concludes with a summary of the most important therapeutic options and an overview of which interventions are required for which eye problems, followed by a short Q&A session.
Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are recommendations for physicians for the treatment and care of patients with certain conditions developed by DEBRA International.
