High-Tech Parameters for the Evaluation of Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease: Identification of Clinical Cut-Offs and Agreement with Low-Tech Tests.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

High-tech devices for the assessment of dry eye disease (DED) are increasingly available. However, the agreement between high- and low-tech parameters has been poorly explored to date. Trying to fill these gaps, we conducted a post hoc analysis on a recently published retrospective study on patients with DED receiving both low- and high-tech (Keratograph^®) assessments, and treatment with different lubricating eyedrops.

Methods

Six clinical questions were defined by the authors, considering literature gaps and their clinical experience, namely: (1) are NIKBUT-i and T-BUT interchangeable parameters? (2) What was the correlation between low- and high-tech parameters in untreated and treated patients with DED? (3) What was the correlation between signs an
