Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), dry eye syndrome, has been changed over recent years. Until lately, the condition was thought to be due to aqueous tear insufficiency. Today, it is understood that KCS is a multifactorial disorder due to inflammation of the ocular surface and lacrimal gland, neurotrophic deficiency and meibomian gland dysfunction.
