Tóm tắt

Blepharitis, allergy, and dry eye are separate entities. They may coexist, but one condition does not “cause” another. Each entity should be considered separately and treated in a methodical way. These are conditions in which the “splitters” will be far more successful than the “lumpers” in satisfying their patient's needs.
