The conversation between Drs. Doug Devries and Marc Bloomenstein focuses on the importance of tear osmolarity in diagnosing and managing corneal diseases, emphasizing its link to tear film composition and corneal health.

They discuss how environmental factors, systemic diseases, and certain medications can disrupt tear balance, leading to hyperosmolarity and corneal damage. The dialogue also highlights the clinical implications of osmolarity measurements in improving patient outcomes, particularly in refractive surgery and dry eye management.
