Abstract:
Ten years have passed since the publication of the DEWS Report that summarized the information based on scientific literature concerning dry eye disease. Hundreds of papers have been published since then and time has come for a new summary. Organized by the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society, 12 working groups summerized former and recent data. The DEWS II Report was created. The authors of the present publication summarize the most important changes in definition, classification, diagnostics, and therapy concerning dry eye disease. They also disclose the relevant changes on which the non-ophthalmologist specialists have to be informed. The DEWS II Report published by TFOS consists of 11 chapters. Completely new chapters deal with the role of sensation/pain and iatrogenic dry eyes. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(20): 775-785.
