Characterization of subjective discomfort/pain in patients with ocular surface dysfunction in association with clinical and laboratory parameters, for a better understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms.
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a multifactorial chronic disease impairing the ocular surface. DED can be associated with conditions of inflammation and neurosensory dysfunction. The aim of this study is to characterize the discomfort/pain in subjects affected by DED with the administration of scales, questionnaires, and analysis of corneal sensitivity by keratoesthesiometry, in association with clinical laboratory parameters.
