Dry eye moves beyond palliative therapy

John D Sheppard. Manag Care. 2003 Dec.

Abstract

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or dry eye syndrome, is a complex condition characterized by inflammation of the ocular surface and tear-producing glands. Emerging awareness of the etiology of dry eye has led to the development of highly effective therapy. When dry eye is controlled, there is significant potential for cost savings.
