This study highlights a range of parallels and divergences in dry eye clinical practice between Australian and UK optometrists. Our data identify both areas of strength in the adoption of evidence-based practice, as well as some potential to improve international translation of dry eye research evidence into practice.

CLD was attenuated by oral long-chain omega-3 supplementation for 12 weeks. Acute (2 week) topical corticosteroids and longer-term (12 week) omega-3 supplementation reduced tear levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-17A and IL-6, demonstrating parallels in modulating ocular inflammation with these approaches.
