The changing face of dry eye

A long time ago in an office far, far away, every eye doctor treated dry eye. Seriously. Even retina docs. Why was that? Well, it was easy. Only one group of patients complained about it, they all had it, and there was really nothing you could do about it other than tell them to “use tears if you want.”Remember, this was in the days of “anatomic success” and 9-mm cataract incisions. The bar was low.
