Such a broad clinical definition includes the etiological factors of tear film abnormalities due to deficiency of tear film composition, the corneal and conjunctival surface abnormalities, and the mechanical ...

Micropachometric Differentiation of Dry Eye Syndromes

1994
More than 100 years ago Helmholtz1 noted that any alteration of corneal physiology results in a change in corneal thickness. These changes are dependent not only on aging, refractive errors and the multitude of endogenous and exogenous factors but also on the status of the preocular tear film.2 ...
