Abstract

There is a growing awareness among dermatology providers of ocular comorbidities in patients with the chronic inflammatory skin disease atopic dermatitis (AD). For example, the prevalence of ocular surface diseases (OSD) such as conjunctivitis is higher in patients with AD than in the general population, and the use of some AD treatments may be associated with OSD. In a recent review published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, dermatologists and ophthalmologists provided an overview of the different types, etiology, pathophysiology, and practical management of OSD associated with AD. This review included a suggested treatment algorithm that champions a partnership between dermatology providers and eye care providers for optimal screening, diagnosis, and care. In this podcast article, a dermatologist and ophthalmologist who were authors on this review are joined by a nurse practitioner moderator to discuss how these concepts can be adapted to clinical practice, inclusive of dermatologists, eye care providers, and relevant advanced practice providers. This podcast focuses on the authors’ clinical experiences and highlights the key aspects of optimal care, including exploring additional questions to answer with future research.
