Ocular surface inflammation may sound simple and specific but actually encompasses more than meets the eye. The disorder affects the cornea, limbus, conjunctiva, and even the eyelids, with dry eye by far the most common patient diagnosis, says Mark Milner, MD, FACS.
Dry eye disease is far from being a single disease. Rather, it encompasses many different entities. To determine the proper approach to treatment, physicians must differentiate what type of ocular surface disease the patient has.
