lies on the misunderstanding of the expression 'replace' in the abstract of the article. Our intention in this study was not to replace the WBUT method completely with the DBUT method for diagnosing dry eye disease, because an AUROC curve of WBUT was less than that of DBUT.

However, we do agree with Dr. Sabour claims that further investiga- tion of other estimates for validity is needed.
