WHY DRY EYE??
25 million people have dry eye
40% have no complaints
Existing patients in your practice
Better care equals loyal patients
Huge return on investment
What is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the tears
and ocular surface that results in symptoms of
discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film
instability with potential damage to the ocular
surface. It is accompanied by increased
osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation
of the ocular surface
The Ocular Surface / April 2007, Vol. 5, No. 2 /
www.theocularsurface.com
Two Types of Dry Eye
Aqueous Deficient dry eye is a disorder in
which the lacrimal glands fail to produce
enough of the watery component of tears to
maintain a healthy eye surface
Evaporative dry eye may result from
inflammation of the meibomian glands. These
glands make the lipid of tears that slows
evaporation and keeps the tears stable
*The National Eye Institute (NEI)
What do we call it?
Dry Eye Syndrome
Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca
Tear Film Insufficiency
Dry Eye Disease
Chronic Dry Eye
Does it really matter?????
The key features of dry eye are:
Decreased tear production
Increased tear evaporation
Incorrect composition of tears

Office
What tools do you need
How to communicate with your
patient
Turn key implementation in 3 steps
IMPLEMENT IN 3 STEPS
1. Identify
2. Diagnose
3. Treat
Protocol Required to Identify
Set your protocol
Required for lab tests (Tearlab and Inflammadry)
Examples:
If a patient scores above 13 on OSDI then perform
Tearlab and/or Inflammadry
If Keratograph 5M NIKBUT is level 1 or 2 then
perform Tearlab and/or Inflammadry
If patient is female above age 50 or male above
65 perform Tearlab and/or Inflammadry
Identify
OSDI Ocular Surface Disease Index
Keratograph 5M
Over 35 female, over 50 male, contact lens wearer
Certain medical conditions, including diabetes,
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma,
Sjogren's syndrome, thyroid disorders and vitamin
A deficiency
Certain medications, including antihistamines,
decongestants, hormone replacement therapy,
antidepressants, and drugs for high blood
pressure, acne, birth control and Parkinson's
disease
OSDI Questionnaire
This 12-item questionnaire asks patients to grade and
describe their ocular symptoms over a 2 to 4 week period
prior to the visit.
TEST is Self-administered.
The booklet is given to the patient and they are asked to fill in
the answers to the best of their ability.
The 12 items are graded on a scale of 0 to 4.
0 is none of the time,
1 is some of the time,
2 is half of the time,
3 is most of the time and
4 is all of the time.
Scoring:
The OSDI score = sum of the scores for all questions answered x 100
total number of questions answered x4
The scale is from 1 to 100, with higher scores representing greater disability.
Scoring OSDI*
13-22
23-32
33-62
63-100
Mild and/or Episodic
Moderate, Episodic or Chronic
Severe, Frequent or Constant
Severe and/or Constant

Diagnose
TearLab
Inflammadry
Keratograph 5M
Slitlamp examination
Lissamine green
Phenol Red Thread Test
40-50% of dry eye patients are
ASYMPTOMATIC
What are the common
complaints of Dry Eye
sufferers?
Excessive Tearing
Gritty Feeling
Tired Eyes
Blurry Vision
When the ocular surface is damaged or the
tear film is unstable, optical quality of
patient’s vision is affected*

TearLab for Dry Eye
Measurements >300 mOsm/L demonstrate
loss of homeostasis
A difference between eyes of 8 mOsm/L or
greater indicates instability of the tear film
and is a hallmark of dry eye disease
Scoring Tearlab
MILD
>295 mOsm/l
MODERATE >317 mOsm/l
SEVERE
>330 mOsm/l
Inflammadry
Test that detects elevated levels of MMP-9,
an inflammatory marker that is
consistently elevated in the tears of
patients with dry eye disease
Non-Invasive Tear Break Up Time
NIKBUT
Meibography
Corneal Evaluation
Phenol Red Thread Test
The thread is yellow in color (acidic) and when it
comes in contact with tears it changes to a light
red color. No topical anesthetic is used. Insert the
3 mm folded portion of the thread into the
palpebral conjunctiva of the eye 1/3 of the
distance from the lateral canthus of the lower eye
lid.
After 15 seconds, the thread is removed and the
entire wet (Red) portion is measured. A reading of
less than 10 mm indicate dry eyes, less than
20 mm marginally dry eyes, and more than 20 mm
normal tear volume.
Lissamine Green Stain
Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy
Increased friction between
conjunctiva and ocular surface
Caused by reduced tear film
