**A Standardised Framework for Dry Eye Management**

The revised Dry Eye Wheel incorporates recommendations from the **Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society (TFOS) Dry Eye Workshop III (DEWS III)** report, one of the most widely recognised global consensus documents in ocular surface disease.

It provides a clear, practical framework built around three core clinical stages:

This structured approach is intended to reduce variability in diagnosis and improve consistency in treatment decisions across clinical settings worldwide.

**Supporting Clinical Decision-Making in Practice**

Dry eye disease remains one of the most common yet complex conditions seen in primary eye care. The updated Wheel is designed to simplify clinical decision-making by translating complex consensus data into an accessible, step-by-step model.

By aligning with TFOS DEWS III recommendations, the tool helps clinicians:

**Complementing the Dry Eye Management Map**

The updated Dry Eye Wheel works alongside the **Dry Eye Management Map**, an interactive digital resource developed to further support clinicians in navigating the full dry eye disease journey.

Together, these tools form a complementary ecosystem:

This dual-resource approach is designed to enhance both point-of-care usability and deeper clinical education.

**Advancing Global Eye Care Standards**

The collaboration between the World Council of Optometry and Alcon reflects a broader commitment to improving global standards in eye health. By combining evidence-based consensus with practical clinical tools, the initiative aims to support consistent, high-quality dry eye care across diverse healthcare systems.

As awareness of dry eye disease continues to grow, tools like the updated Dry Eye Wheel play a critical role in bridging the gap between clinical research and everyday practice.
