This document discusses dry eye, including its definition, causes, symptoms, and treatment approaches. It begins by defining dry eye as a multifactorial disease that results in discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability. Various etiological factors that can contribute to dry eye are then outlined, including age, gender, medications, environmental conditions, and ocular surface diseases. Treatment is tailored based on the severity of dry eye and may include artificial tears, anti-inflammatory therapies, punctal plugs, and procedures to improve meibomian gland function. Modern technologies like LipiFlow are also mentioned for managing meibomian gland dysfunction.
