DED can be associated with conditions of inflammation and neurosensory dysfunction.

The aim of this study is to characterize the discomfort/pain in subjects affected by DED with the administration of scales, questionnaires, and analysis of corneal sensitivity by keratoesthesiometry, in association with clinical laboratory parameters.
