Sex-related differences and hormonal effects in the Dry Eye Assessment and Management (DREAM) study

Conclusion In the DREAM study, women experienced more severe DED signs than men. Further, postmenopausal women presented with more severe DED signs than premenopausal women. Elucidating these differences may improve DED diagnosis and provide future direction in understanding sex-related differences in DED. Trial registration number NCT02128763.
