Medical and surgical treatment of the dry eye

1978 Fall.
Abstract
An overview of the dry eye syndrome and its medical and surgical management has been presented. It is apparent that any single treatment is generally ineffective and that a combination of therapeutic modalities is required for success. The Experimental Slow Release Artificial Tear Insert (Ocusert) shows the most promise for a future solution.
