Introduction

This website has been sponsored by Moorfields Pharmaceuticals, a division of the Moorfields Eye Hospital, one of the world's leading providers of ophthalmic care, with expertise in clinical practice, research, teaching and education.

At Moorfields Pharmaceuticals we manufacture specific products for the treatment of dry eye syndrome, while our colleagues at the Moorfields Eye Hospital treat many patients with more serious symptoms. It is estimated that overall more than 4 million people may be suffering from some form of dry eye disorder.

This website has been developed to provide a comprehensive source of advice, learning and up-to-date information about dry eye syndrome, particularly for those practising in the UK. With the help of our advisory panel, we have summarised the causes of dry eye conditions, together with diagnostic tests and treatment options.

No other resource of this type exists within the UK and we are keen to maintain dryeyesmedical.com as the most comprehensive and dedicated website for dry eye syndrome. To help us do this, your feedback and involvement is very much welcomed. You can contact us via the Get Involved page.
