Abstract
As practice continues to be guided by evidence, best evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs can be limited. Four Cochrane documents addressing treatments for dry eye were obtained from the Cochran Database, but two are still in the protocol phase and two reviews offer limited evidence for the efficacy and safety for punctal occlusion and AS serum eye drops.
