A chronic keratoconjunctivitis that is common under dry climatic conditions is described. A characteristic biomicroscopical appearance of the eye was found in 29 healthy patients with red, uncomfortable eyes and abnormal tear function. A diagnosis of tear-deficient keratoconjunctivitis can be made on the basis of these findings and treated effectively.
