Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although dry eye disease is one of the most common diseases and is frequently encountered in ophthalmologic clinics, its diagnosis and treatment are often difficult because of its multifactorial nature and lack of correlation between the symptoms and signs of the disease. Variability in diagnostic criteria for dry eye disease and unsatisfactory reliability of the conventional diagnostic tests have also made the diagnosis of the disease difficult. However, recent development of new diagnostic devices has enabled more precise and reproducible evaluation of the ocular surface and tear film. Development of novel drugs is also expected to be helpful for the treatment of the disease.
In this Special Issue, any papers regarding the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease are welcome. Papers on the diagnosis and treatment of ocular surface diseases mimicking or associated with dry eye disease are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Sang Beom Han
Guest Editor
