The recommended diagnostic protocol for dry eye disease

Main Article Content

Izabela K. Garaszczuk

Abstract

The prevalence of ocular surface abnormalities, including dry eye disease, has been reported to increase over the last decade [1]. Dry eye incidence increases with age, however is notable among young adults. The disease affects half of the global population with one-fifth of the patients being undiagnosed. The lack of standardized diagnostic criteria results in a wide range of reported prevalence rates (ranging from 5–75%). Dry Eye Workshop II report summarizes a decade of important clinical studies and provides a new definition of the disease [2] and systematic clinical diagnostic protocol [3]. This protocol, provided below, enables the practitioner to perform full objective dry eye diagnosis
