Brief Summary
The bulk of dry eye patients are found in the community. The lack of satisfactory protocols and confidence is a significant deterrent for practitioners to manage such patients, which may result in inaccurate referrals, and unhappy patients. Problems are compounded by comorbidities of dry eye, even if these are not diagnosed formally. Aligning with the healthcare strategy to move beyond healthcare to health, and beyond hospital care to community care, investigators propose that the confidence of primary carers be increased by using an image-based screening system. This study aim to determine the efficacy of this screening AI algorithm, a prototype, in addition to or instead of screening of dry eye using a simple DEQ-5 symptom questionnaire.
