EPIDEMIOLOGY OF DRY EYE SYNDROME.
Cornea, 2000Dry eye syndrome (DES) represents a heterogeneous group of conditions that share inadequate lubrication of the ocular surface as their common denominator. DES is characterized by symptoms of ocular dryness and discomfort due to insufficient tear quantity or quality caused by low tear production and/or excessive tear evaporation.

Over the past 20 years it has become clear that dry eye syndrome (DES) or keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a complex multifactorial disease characterized by an immune and inflammatory process that affects the lacrimal glands and ocular surface. In this paradigm, inflammation is seen as both the cause and consequence of conjunctival and corneal cell ...

Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 1997
Use of video display terminals (VDTs) is associated with a decreased frequency of blinking and an increased rate of tear evaporation. This leads to ocular fatigue (1), which is one of the major symptoms of dry eye (2). The causes or alterations in the normal tear film that lead to dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis sicca are given here, followed ...

A dry eye may be defined as the eye which exhibits an abnormal corneal epithelium secondary to an abnormal precorneal tear film (Baum, 1976). Such a broad clinical definition includes the etiological factors of tear film abnormalities due to deficiency of tear film composition, the corneal and conjunctival surface abnormalities, and the mechanical ...
