Dry eye disease and oxidative stress [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2017 AbstractDry eye, an age‐related condition, is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance and tear film instability. Environmental factors are also often implicated in dry eye including exposure to pollutants, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone as well as the chronic use of ...
