What exactly is dry eye? How many of your patients present complaining of dry eye?  Did you know.... when people use digital devices, on average they blink 5 times less than normal? This dries out the eye's surface, often causing dry eye symptoms!

As part of UNSW SOVS Dry eye "Defy Dry eye 2018" Social Media Campaign they are raising awareness of dry eye symptoms, and encouraging patients to visit their local optometrist. The initiative is part of a final year Masters of Clinical Optometry research project which has been undertaken by their students.
