A solute gradient in the tear meniscus II. implications for lid margin disease, including meibomian gland dysfunction [PDF]
We have hypothesized previously that evaporation from the tears generates a solute gradient across the tear meniscus, which delivers hyperosmolar stress to the mucocutaneous junction (MCJ) of the lid margin. This is proposed as the basis for Marx's line,
