The Relationship Between Dry Eye Symptoms and Lipid Layer Thickness
TLDR
Investigation of relationship between dry eye symptoms and lipid layer thickness (LLT) in patients presenting for routine eye examination and the practicality of interferometry in a clinical practice indicates that LLT seems to correlate better to symptoms, especially severe symptoms, than other reported correlations with objective clinical tests for dry eye disease.
