This multi-authored text on Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Disorders is divided in 8 sections, with a total of 24 comprehensive chapters and an appendix. A galaxy of internationally respected contributors have provided an authoritative text on the epidemiology and economics of dry eye, the pathophysiology, the current diagnostic and treatment practices, surgical aspects of ocular surface disorders, the present status of surgeries like amniotic membrane transplantation. Few other important issues such as dry eyes in contact lens wearers and dry eye seen during pregnancy and menopause are also discussed. The exhaustive list of chapters and authors may mean there could be some overlap of information between different chapters. However, I feel that this will be useful as each author has given his/her own unique perspective to the topic and the reader can draw his own conclusions based on this diverse opinion base, supported by facts. The contributors have strived to bring together not just the current clinical concepts but also to compile the latest available research information on the topic. In this era of focus on cost-effectiveness of medical treatment, ignoring the financial aspects would be to our own peril; and therefore, the section on the economics of dry eyes has been included to bring a unique perspective to the problem.
