Why is it important?
As evaporative dry eye is the most common type of dry eye in the community, this modality has several potential applications for screening and for selecting patients for eyelid warming treatment.
Perspectives
Using deep learning, we have shown that several imaging parameters have the potential to identify responders to eyelid warming. So this is yet another potential application of AI in the field of dry eye.
