Assessment of patient burden from dry eye disease using a combination of five visual analogue scales and a radar graph: a pilot study of the PENTASCORE.

CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study indicates that the Pentascore can rapidly and effectively assess the burden of DED and satisfaction with treatments. Compared with the algebraic mean, the estimation of the area of the radar graph likely improves the sensitivity for detecting differences/changes in symptoms and treatment follow-up.
