Purpose

The importance of comprehensive vision assessment in young patients where no vision problems are suspected. Detection of ocular surface abnormalities that cause symptoms and can be treated to optimize vision.

Setting

Part of the ophthalmological evaluation for athletes in motorsports and any other discipline takes place in the ocular surface department. 
The detection of dry eye syndrome generates symptoms and signs with visual impairment.
 

Report of case

The ocular surface examination includes: BUT, Schirmer test, Rose Bengal test, and meibography.
Treatment with Rexon and Lipiflow are alternative treatments indicated in cases where they are necessary, avoiding dependence on eye drops in pilots 
and high-performance athletes.
.

Conclusion/Take home message

 
Our experience with young athletes, and especially motorsport drivers like Joshua Duerksen (F2 driver) and Marcos Galanti (WRC World Rally Car driver), motivates us to always stay ahead of the curve in ophthalmic treatments and equipment. The results allow us to tailor the best treatment recommendations to each individual case.
