Abstract

The topic of the 1984 Cambridge Ophthalmological Symposium was 'The Dry Eye'; it was chaired by my colleague and mentor Mr Peter Wright. In the 33 years that have passed since then we have learned a great deal more about this condition. This short paper sets out to review some of the more recent developments.
