Eyes On Eyecare is debuting a brand new virtual summit for optometrists focused on corneal homeostasis and eager to learn about the latest diagnostic and therapeutic technologies targeting corneal nerve dysfunction and ocular surface health.
How exciting! Let’s start with a rundown.
From the organizers of virtual education events like Eyes On Dry Eye, Eyes On Glaucoma, and Eyes On Retina, this latest addition to the EOE brand of events is designed as a one-day summit focused on all things cornea.
Specifically: Attendees can expect to “get to the root of corneal health” by learning about what’s new in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies designed to address the underlying issues of corneal disease.
Will education be offered?
Did we mention you can earn up to 2.5 hours of free continuing education (CE)?
You definitely did not … Tell me more.
A total of five, 30-minute, COPE-accredited sessions focused on corneal health and the latest therapeutic advances will be led by optometric corneal experts.
Those sessions include:
- Addressing Neurotrophic Keratitis (NK) Early in the Optometry Clinic
- Pain That Persists: Addressing Neuropathic Pain
- LFU and You: A Lacrimal Functional Unit Refresher
- Corneal Nerves & Health in Everyday Practice: Diagnostics and Beyond
- The 2025 Corneal Nerve & Health Treatment Landscape
And who are these clinical experts?
With Cory Lappin, OD, MS, FAAO, starting the event off with opening remarks, attendees will hear from industry-leading experts who will share expert corneal insights and clinical pearls:
- Damon Dierker, OD, FAAO
- Jacqueline Theis, OD, FAAO, FNAP
- Cecelia C. Koetting, OD, FAAO, Dipl ABO
- Mile Brujic, OD, FAAO
- Hardeep K. Kataria, OD, FAAO

As a bonus: Attendees can participate in live Q&A sessions following each course to speak with presenters and get their clinical questions answered in real time.
