Ocular surface disease includes dry eyes, allergies, blepharitis, infections, and inflammations. This complicated condition affects over 20 million Americans. Most types are chronic and progressive, with early symptoms including burning, watering, itching, foreign body sensation, and blur. This can lead to significant suffering if left untreated. Risk categories for ocular surface disease include women over 40 and patients with inflammatory conditions.
