Abstract

Dry eye disease (DED) is a prevalent disorder of the ocular surface and tear film for which currently no fully satisfactory treatment exists, reflecting its multifactorial nature and perhaps inherent limitations of existing treatments. Responding to this unmet medical need, the research community and pharmaceutical industry display robust activity in the development of novel approaches to DED treatment. These efforts include pharmaceutical agents and devices directed at various pathogenetic aspects of this still incompletely understood disease. Here, we review current and under development treatments and assess the state of this evolving field.
