Looking Deeper into Ocular Manifestations of Sjögren’s Disease
November 9, 2024

Sjögren’s patients know all too well about that dry, gritty, sand-in-your-eyes feeling.

Each conference session will be delivered live in a virtual format by Sjögren’s experts in ocular medicine, who are committed to researching and understanding the complexities of Ocular Surface Disease in Sjögren’s patients. After each clinical presentation, you will be able to present your questions at a live Q&A!
