About 60% and 40% of patients report reduced QOL and work efficiency, respectively.

Rationale: DED commonly causes significant functional impairment and reduced quality of life and workplace productivity; the other statements are inaccurate (symptoms vary, burden is not minimal, and many patients report more than “mild” impact).
