简要总结
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a highly prevalent ocular morbidity with multifactorial etiology. Despite
available guidelines, diagnosis and management remain inconsistent across clinical settings in India, leading
to suboptimal outcomes. A structured, driver-based approach per TFOS DEWS III is required to bridge the
gap between evidence-based consensus and real-world clinical practice.
