Abstract
In this article, the aetiology of dry eye disease will be considered, along with
a consideration of the utility of different diagnostic tests. Legislation relevant
to treatment availability and optometric access to dry eye products will be
covered followed by consideration of ingredients and indicated uses, product
selection and follow-up. A brief consideration will be given to the availability
of a special lubricant at additional supply (AS) level, and also how an
optometrist may be part of co-management of more severe cases of dry eye.
