Dry Eye Disease (DED) is one of the most frequently encountered ocular morbidities. Twenty-five percent of patients who visit ophthalmic clinics report symptoms of Dry Eye, making it a growing public health problem and one of the most common conditions seen by eye care practitioners. The diagnosis and management of DED is surfacing with many dilemmas. Moreover, the treatment strategies in patients with normal tear metrics is challenging. This symposium aims to address these concerns in a clinical and cell biology and advance imaging perspective. This session is in an attempt to unravel the Dark Side of Moon in Dry Eye Disease for every clinician. Clinical case based discussion will be witnessed in this session handouts containing updated research articles and information on DED will be distributed in the Session.
