  • Title: Inflammation: a unifying theory for the origin of dry eye syndrome.
    Author: Wilson SE.
    Journal: Manag Care; 2003 Dec; 12(12 Suppl):14-9. PubMed ID: 14723109.
    Abstract:
    Dry eye syndrome has been difficult to diagnose and treat, due to its heterogeneity. These difficulties are being overcome, however, as evidence becomes available about a common etiology. An inflammatory mechanism apparently underlies the condition. This theory has been proven by use of immunomodulators that show efficacy in treating patients with dry eye syndrome.
