Dry Eye
Dry eye is a disease of the ocular surface
attributable to different disturbances of the
natural function and protective mechanisms
of the external eye, leading to an unstable
tear film during the open eye state.

Tear deficient dry eye Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS)Sjogrens: Autoimmune disorder with a triad of dry mouth, dry eye and arthritisNon-Sjogrens– Ageing – Gradual deterioration of lacrimal gland tissue occurs with
ageing– Menopause – At the time of menopause, levels of androgens drop down– Neurotrophic keratitis – Corneal sensitivity decreases after LASIK,
PRK, contact lens wear and diabetes
– Medicamentosa – Anti histamines, anti-depressants, – beta blockers– Cicatricial Diseases – Trachoma, chemical burns, Stevens Johnson

EVAPORATIVE DRY DISEASE
Meibomian gland disease: Most prevalent (65%). Obstruction of meibomian glandLid surfacing anomalies: Lid closure affected, blinking affectedOcular surface toxicity: Long term use of topical antiglaucoma medications, preservatives like BAKContact lens relatedAllergy

Chronic Allergy
Dry eye is commonly associated with chronic allergic conjunctivitis. An allergic history has been reported by 36% of dry eye patients.Chronic allergy results in loss of goblet cells, destabilization of the tear film & damage to ocular surface.VKC is associated with 38% incidence of dry eye.

Extensions of interblink period due to intense concentration due to close work and computer work concentration leads to drying of ocular surface.Normal blink rate : 15 times/minWorking on computer: 5 times/min

Environmental Influences
Ocular irritation, poor tear film stability and ocular surface desiccation is associated with poor indoor air quality in temperature controlled office environments
35-48% of individuals working in such environments are affected.
Dry climate
Growing air pollution.

Rose Bengal staining
Rose Bengal solution 1% placed into the conjunctival sac.
After a wait of 2 mins, degree of rose bengal staining on bulbar conjunctiva and cornea is quantitated by microscopic exam.
Stains devitalized cells.
Also stains mucous strands (very often present in KCS)

Tear substitutes:benefits Tear substitutes are the mainstay of therapy fordry eye.
Provide adequate relief Increase humidity at the ocular surface and improve lubrication.Smooth the ocular surface leading to improved vision.Intra/post-operative use has shown to help restore ocular surface after refractive surgery.Improve patients’ quality of life.
