Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Dry eye is a common complaint in patients encountered by ophthalmologists, which may result from the inflammatory response and can occur in the absence of systemic disease. However, the management of dry eye syndrome in real setting warrants assessment but remains lacking in Taiwan. We conducted an perspective observational study to evaluate the medical management of dry eye patients.
