Dry eye can be a complicated condition for both the patient and practitioner. The highly variable clinical presentation1 can make it hard to weed out the true dry eye disease from mimicking conditions; and figure out what can be treated solo, what needs to be co-managed in practice, and what needs to be referred. Even when the diagnosis of dry eye has been made, there is such a large variation in treatment options that finding the right solution for each patient can be a whole new skill set.
