Dry Eye
Dry eye occurs due to insufficient tears or tear film imbalance,
and can cause blurred vision, eye fatigue, and pain. Protect your eye health with professional care.
If left untreated, tear film damage accumulates on the eye surface,
leading to
vision loss and complications.
Dry Eye Causes
1Tear Component Imbalance
Tear film consists of 3 layers:
mucin, aqueous, and lipid layers.
2Structural Eye Problems
Issues with tear glands, evaporation, drainage,
or meibomian glands can cause
dry eye symptoms.
3Environmental Factors
Dusty or dry environments, eye diseases,
or reduced immunity can cause dry eye.
When tear film balance is disrupted,
dry eye occurs.
When Dry Eye Treatment is Needed
Dry eye requires consistent management and treatment.
No improvement despite long-term
(1+ years) frequent artificial tear useDaily life discomfort from dry eye
Vision decline after refractive surgery
Vision decline symptoms without
specific eye diseaseSevere morning eye stiffness

Dry Eye Examination
Keratograph 5MState-of-the-art dry eye diagnostic equipment
Meibomian Gland Test
Checks blockage and dysfunction of oil glands (meibomian glands) in the eyelids.
Tear Film Viscosity Test
Measures tear stickiness to assess tear quality.
Tear Film Lipid Layer Test
Analyzes lipid layer thickness and stability to indirectly assess meibomian gland function.
Tear Film Break-up Test
Measures how quickly the tear film dries and breaks (Tear Film Break-up Time, TBUT) after blinking.
Tear Secretion Test
Uses Schirmer test strips to measure tear secretion quantity.
Conjunctival Hyperemia Test
Objectively evaluates conjunctival redness to assess eye surface inflammation.
Dry Eye Treatment by Cause
IPL Meibomian Gland Treatment
Applies light energy to eyelid meibomian glands to soften hardened oil and improve secretion. Helps balance oil and tear layers.
Punctal Occlusion
Temporarily or permanently blocks tear duct openings (puncta) to retain tears longer. Suitable when tear retention is difficult.
Medication (Artificial Tears·Tear Secretion Promoters·Autologous Serum Drops)
Medications to supplement tears, aid eye surface recovery, and improve natural tear secretion.
