Classifying signs and symptoms of dry eye disease according to underlying mechanism via the Delphi method: the DIDACTIC study.

CONCLUSIONS: This Delphi consultation categorised signs and symptoms, using an innovative weighting system to identify DED pathophysiology. An algorithm integrating the weighting of each sign and symptom of an individual patient would be valuable to help general ophthalmologists to classify the DED subtype and tailor treatment to DED underlying mechanism.
