Why TFOS is pushing for unified dry eye assessment — and why it matters in the clinic.

Sarah explains the long-held TFOS view that research only becomes valuable when it is disseminated into real-world clinical practice.

A key theme in the discussion is the need for standardisation:
• Using a single, validated, easy-to-deliver questionnaire rather than DEQ-5 in one clinic and OSDI in another
• Ensuring patients receive consistent, comparable results — “you wouldn’t expect three different blood pressure readings from three GPs”
• Improving clinical communication by “comparing apples with apples”

They also explore why the new questionnaire feels more intuitive for dry eye assessment, with questions more closely aligned to patient experience.

The standout insight: meibomian gland dysfunction may be detectable up to 10 years before symptoms — reinforcing the potential value of routine meibography screening.
More on this in the upcoming episode.
