| Short CET Abstract : |
Optimal management of the dry eye requires listening carefully to the patient’s history and symptoms, gleaning information about their work and recreational environment, detailed assessment of the tears and ocular surface using a battery of tests and an appreciation of the various management approaches. In the case of contact lens wearers, lens material, design, wearing schedule and care products all need to be carefully considered before any management decisions are taken, it is not always the fault of the lens! |
