Summary/Abstract: The aim of our study is to identify the relation between ocular symptoms and clinical diagnostic tests in dry eye disease with a view to finding an optimal combination of diagnostic tests. Spearmen’s correlation coefficient was used to describe the correlation between symptoms (OSDI) and clinical signs (Schirmer test I, contrast sensitivity, Tear breakup time (TBUT) and Oxford staining schema). The results were compared with the findings in current literature.
