So you want to set up a dry eye clinic?

It’s become clear, as our knowledge has evolved, that dry eye management, if performed thoroughly, cannot be squeezed into a normal examination as part of a standard eye examination. You wouldn’t expect to perform a full glaucoma work-up within a standard eye examination and neither should you expect to perform a detailed dry eye assessment in this time. This specialised area requires time, dedicated staff and an individualised approach, in the development of the final management plan.
