Official title
Retrospective and Observational Study in Relation to the Subjective Pain of Patients Attending the Corneal and Ocularcsurface Analysis Laboratory (LACSO) Affected by Ocular Surface Dysfunctions
Overview
Characterization of subjective discomfort/pain in patients with ocular surface dysfunction in association with clinical and laboratory parameters, for a better understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms.
Detailed description
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a multifactorial chronic disease impairing the ocular surface.
DED can be associated with conditions of inflammation and neurosensory dysfunction.
The aim of this study is to characterize the discomfort/pain in subjects affected by DED with the administration of scales, questionnaires, and analysis of corneal sensitivity by keratoesthesiometry, in association with clinical laboratory parameters.
Primary outcome measures
- Discomfort in subjects affected by Dry Eye Disease (DED) [Time frame: Baseline (enrollment visit)]
