Keywords:
keratoconjunctivitis sicca, keratitisAbstract
Disorders of the anterior segment of the eye are leading causes of ocular morbidity. Such conditions include dry eye conditions, infections, traumas of various types, inflammatory reactions, hereditary disorders, and cataract. For a number of these patients, the rule is a continuous progression and aggravation of symptoms. The end stage is varying degrees of visual loss with or without pain
