This guidance aims to provide healthcare professionals with information to better inform patients on how to manage dry eye syndrome using good eyelid hygiene. This resource also contains dry eye syndrome prescribing guidelines and guidance on when referral should be made. It is envisaged that this will be used by healthcare professionals in both primary and secondary care settings.

This resource has been retired and is no longer considered an AWMSG-endorsed resource. The resource underwent an assessment for review in June 2024. At that time, members of the All Wales Prescribing Advisory Group (AWPAG) considered it appropriate to retire the resource. The content contained within the resource was considered to be out of date and, as other national guidance is available (e.g. Common Ailments Service formulary, College of Optometrists and NICE), AWPAG members considered it most appropriate for the resource to be retired at this time. If you think this resource should be reconsidered for review, please get in touch with AWTTC by emailing awttc@nhs.wales.uk. |
