Summary

This study will enroll 50 people with dry eye disease to compare three different devices that measure the thickness of the tear film's lipid layer. Researchers want to see which device gives the most consistent readings and which one best matches other signs of dry eye. The goal is to help doctors pick the best tool for diagnosis and monitoring.
