Abstract

The ocular surface diseases including dry eye disease are still increasing issue worldwide. Mild disorders are not sight threatening, but in advanced stages they may lead to serious complications. In some cases the treatment itself is the main cause for developing or aggravation of the dry eye disease, especially in patients with risk factors. The exact examination allows to avoid the misdiagnosis and to choose the optimal management.
