What is Dacryology? It is the science and clinical practice of tears, their production, their constituents and role, their journey across the surface of the eye, the function of the eyelids in relation to the tears, the ocular surface health, tear drainage via the lacrimal drainage system into the nose, and the nasal space and mucosal lining, in health and disease. The causes of watering and dry eyes are multifactorial and may occur separately or overlap.
ISD-DE is for Medical and Allied Healthcare Practitioners:
- Ophthalmologists, Optometrists and Otolalyngologists (ENT).
- Corneal and external ocular surface and the oculoplastic and lacrimal Ophthalmologists, since tears flow over the surface of the eye and into the nose
- Optometrists interested in watering and dry eyes
- Contact Lens Opticians
ISD-DE is also for patients:
Maintaining clear vision and comfortable eyes. The tears functioning well on the ocular surface are essential for clear vision, ocular health and comfort.
