- Authors
Bonvissuto, Kimberly; Morris, Scott; Nichols, Kelly K.
- Abstract
The article presents information on the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease. According to optometrist Kelly K. Nichols, a 1995 report produced by researchers from the National Eye Institute (NEI) and ophthalmic industries was important because it led to the formation of the International Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS) and the Delphi dry eye panel for treating dry eye. Nichols and optometrist Scot Morris discuss the importance of symptoms in diagnosing dry eye and treatments for dry eye, such as artifical tear supplements. Morris also discusses the function of tear film in dry eye.
