Dry eye affects millions of people worldwide and causes eye well recognized risk factors for dry eye.

There is increased evidence that inflammation plays a role in dry eye. This review will summarize the current knowledge about aging and dry eye, inclusive of lessons learned from animal models and promising therapies.
