Dry Eye: An Evidence-based Approach to Diagnosis and Management
Jennifer Gould OD, MS, FAAO Disclosures
• Aerie • Allergan • Zeiss Dry Eye Definition “Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film, and accompanied by ocular symptoms, in which tear film instability and DEWS II hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation and damage, and neurosensory abnormalities play etiological roles” Definition – DEWS II Definition of dry eye Classification Evaluation Treatment
Tear Film Neurosensory Ocular Surface Hyperosmolarity Instability Abnormalities Inflammation Dry eye disease is an interplay of aqueous deficiency and evaporative etiologies Dry Eye Evaluation American Society of cataract and “DED can cause a reduced visual function refractive surgery and might compromise the overall result of (ASCRS) corneal, cataract, and refractive surgery.”
Preoperative “The impact of DED and OSD on topography, biometry, keratometry, and higher order diagnosis and aberrations is one of the major causes of treatment of ocular disappointing postoperative outcomes.” surface disorders

Dry eye Screening
• Symptoms - • Questionnaire – OSDI vs speed vs speed II
• Signs - • Osmolality • Inflammatory Marker
Further evaluation should be performed is one of these areas is abnormal Speed Score Interpretation Sum of scores / 28 Asymptomatic: ≤ 2 Mild: 3-4 Moderate: 5-7 Speed Survey Severe: ≥ 8 Speed II Survey OSDI Survey
OSDI Score Interpretation Sum of scores x 25 / # Questions answered Normal: 0-12 Mild: 13-22 Moderate: 23-32 Severe: ≥ 33
Point of Care testing: Identify non-symptomatic patients
MMP-9: Non-specific inflammatory marker
> 307 mOsm/L = abnormal > 8 difference between eyes is significant Non-invasive - Objective testing
• Meibomian gland imaging • Lipid Layer thickness • >=60 thickness highly indicative of Meibomian gland dysfunction • Non-invasive TBUT • Corneal topography • Surface irregularity indicative of dry eye disease • Sjogren’s antibody testing
Clinical Examination
• Performed on all patients – (+) or (-) screening • Goal to determine type, severity and visual significance of dry eye Clinical Examination
• Look: • Lagophthalmos, proptosis • Lid abnormalities (i.e., entropion, trichiasis) • Anterior/posterior blepharitis (i.e., scurf, collarettes, foamy tears, demodex, capped mg, lid telangiectasia) • Palpebral conjunctiva (i.e., injection, follicles, conjunctivochalasis, pterygium) • Cornea (i.e., filaments, ebmd, prominent punctate keratitis) LOOK
Don’t forget to watch the patient blink! Clinical Examination
• LIFT AND PULL: • Examine superior cornea (superior limbic keratitis) • Lid laxity (Floppy eyelid syndrome)

Summary
• Combining Using the ASCRS Protocol for Dry Eye Evaluation with the DEWSII staged treatment approach can provide a systematic approach to patient diagnosis and management
• Comprehensive Dry Eye Management can improve refractive outcomes (glasses and contact), and surgical outcomes. Putting it all Together
