The World Council of Optometry (WCO) and Alcon have released a three-part video series designed to help eye care professionals better understand and apply recommendations from the recently published TFOS DEWS III report on dry eye disease.
According to the organizations, the series features Professors Jennifer Craig, Lyndon Jones, and James Wolffsohn, all members of the TFOS DEWS III Steering Committee. The videos provide an overview of the report, review its diagnostic methodology, and highlight key points from the management and therapy section.
Dry eye disease is described in the release as a chronic condition affecting nearly 1.6 billion people worldwide, with rising prevalence linked to factors including increased technology use, environmental triggers, and an aging population.

“It’s crucial that eye care professionals stay up to date on the latest research and findings, yet we recognize that the pace of life may get in the way of reading TFOS DEWS III in its entirety,” said Cindy Tromans, BSc (Hons), PhD, FEAOO, president of WCO. “This compact video series is an easily digestible, creating an important resource for clinicians and educators looking to continuously improve their practice using the most recent evidence.”
Dr. Carla Mack
In a statement, Dr. Carla Mack, Global Head of Professional Education and Development at Alcon, said the series is intended to make the latest science and expert perspectives more accessible to clinicians working to identify, measure, and manage dry eye disease in practice.
The release of the videos follows the recent introduction of the Dry Eye Management Map, an online tool developed through the WCO-Alcon partnership to support optometrists in navigating dry eye management using TFOS DEWS III guidance. The organizations note that while the tool is designed to support clinical decision-making, responsibility for care decisions remains with the practitioner.
Eye care professionals also have access to the WCO Alcon Dry Eye Wheel, which uses a three-step framework centred on mitigation, measurement, and management.
