O. TFOS DEWS II Diagnostic Interpretation

Diagnostic principle: Dry Eye Disease is confirmed when there is a positive symptom screen together with at least one positive marker of tear-film homeostasis loss, after excluding mimicking conditions.

Measure Positive Threshold / Interpretation
DEQ-5 ≥6 = positive symptom screen
OSDI ≥13 = positive symptom screen
NIBUT <10 seconds = positive homeostasis marker
Corneal staining >5 spots = positive homeostasis marker
Conjunctival staining >9 spots = positive homeostasis marker
Schirmer Reduced tear production supports aqueous-deficient DED; ≤5 mm/5 min indicates marked deficiency
MMP-9 / InflammaDry Positive result supports ocular-surface inflammation; not diagnostic of DED by itself
