Abstract
There is no substitution for seeing theory applied in real-life situations.
These case reports highlight a number of different dry eye disease situations including dry eye post LASIK, meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease coexisting with other ocular surface disease.
Each case study has key learnings.
