Despite many available treatments, dry eye disease (DED) remains one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated conditions in eyecare. Clinical trials to inform treatment development often have stric
Research-based insights into predictive signs, clinical tests and global practice patterns for dry eye disease
Researchers Professor Jennifer Craig and Dr Michael Wang at the Ocular Surface Laboratory, along with University of Auckland Visiting Professor James Wolffsohn, other international collaborators, and TFOS ambassadors, conducted and analysed one of the largest global surveys on the current clinical p
With every blink, the meibomian glands release meibum that contributes to the outermost layer of the tear film. Abnormal blinking can reduce meibum release and may lead to more permanent changes.
