Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare various symptoms and signs of dry-eye as well as stratify characteristics of the tear film in a group of dry-eyed individuals in comparison to a group of non-dry-eyed people. Dry-eye is a condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of the sufferer. These are people who are predominantly female and in the older age groups. Determining what characterises a person with dry-eyes is of importance to understanding the disease process.
