Comparative of meibomian gland morphology in patients with evaporative dry eye disease versus non-dry eye disease [PDF]
Many recent studies have showed that morphological changes are one of the key signs of meibomian gland disease (MGD). These changes can be seen even before symptom onset, potentially underestimating the prevalence of MGD; however, until now, there is no ...

Tear and Saliva Metabolomics in Evaporative Dry Eye Disease in Females [PDF]
Accurate diagnosis of dry eye disease (DED) is challenging, and even today there is no gold standard biomarker of DED. Hypothesis-free global metabolomic studies of tears from DED patients have great potential to discover metabolites and pathways ...

Topical Spironolactone in the Treatment of Evaporative Dry Eye Disease. [PDF]
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is associated with evaporative dry eye syndrome, which is characterized by a reduction in meibum secretion and tear film instability. Present treatments provide only temporary relief, thereby necessitating the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies for chronic treatment.

Meibum Lipidomic Analysis in Evaporative Dry Eye Subjects. [PDF]
Meibomian Glands (MG) are sebaceous glands responsible for the production of meibum, the main component of the Tear Film Lipid Layer (TFLL). The TFLL facilitates the spread of the tear film over the ocular surface, provides stability and reduces tear evaporation.

One Soul and Several Faces of Evaporative Dry Eye Disease. [PDF]
The ocular surface system interacts with, reacts with, and adapts to the daily continuous insults, trauma, and stimuli caused by direct exposure to the atmosphere and environment. Several tissue and para-inflammatory mechanisms interact to guarantee such an ultimate function, hence maintaining its healthy homeostatic equilibrium.
