Abstract: Current study aiming to overview the Dry eye disease (DED) in clinical perspectives, through discussing the etiology and risk factors of DED, and most importantly was to review the diagnostic procedures used in DED diagnosis and proper treatment approaches. We conducted the literature search in following electronic database MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, for published studies up to March, 2017. We have included most evidence based articles which were discussing the Dry eye disease (DED) treatment, diagnosis, etiology and any clinical association to DED. The therapy of dry eye has actually advanced from tear substitution alone to a reasonably based restorative formula. If the signs and symptoms are moderate, artificial tears of different kinds are advised. Cover health is valuable in the therapy of hyperevaporative dry eye, while collagen or silicon plugs can be utilized for partial occlusion of the efferent lacrimal ducts to treat severe hyposecretory dry eye.
