Androgen Deficiency, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Evaporative Dry Eye

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2002
Abstract: Objective. We have recently discovered that women with primary and secondary Sjögren's syndrome are androgen‐deficient. We hypothesize that this hormone insufficiency contributes to the meibomian gland dysfunction, tear film instability, and evaporative dry eye that are characteristic of this autoimmune disorder.

Intense pulsed light therapy for the treatment of evaporative dry eye disease

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2015
Evaporative dry eye disease is one of the most common types of dry eye. It is often the result of chronic meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and associated ocular rosacea. Evaporative dry eye and MGD significantly reduce patient's quality of life.

Addressing excessive evaporation: an unmet need in dry eye disease

The American Journal of Managed Care, 2023
Dry eye disease (DED) is a common condition in which tear film abnormalities result in a damaging cycle of tear hyperosmolarity, desiccating stress, inflammation, and ocular surface injury. In a healthy tear film, meibum produced by the meibomian glands forms a lipid layer that stabilizes the tear film and protects against aqueous tear evaporation ...

Tear Physiology of Aqueous Deficiency and Evaporative Dry Eye

Optometry and Vision Science, 2009
To determine the differences in tear physiology between aqueous deficiency dry eye (ADDE) and evaporative dry eye (EDE), and evaluate their utility in diagnosis.Fifty-six dry eye patients were classified into 30 ADDE and 26 EDE according to the recently published Dry Eye Workshop criteria.

Ocular Water Evaporation and the Dry Eye

Cornea, 1993
We developed a simple device to measure the water evaporation from the ocular surface, and we measured the evaporation rate in 18 normal individuals. We compared this to a group of 15 patients with dry eye from low tear production. We found the normal rate of water evaporation from the ocular surface to be 14.7 +/- 6.4 x 10(-7) g/cm2/s or 0.14 +/- 0.06

[Comparative investigation of treatments for evaporative dry eye].

Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 2010
Evaporative dry eye is the most common form of tear film dysfunction. The present trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of two established treatment options with different modes of action by comparison.216 patients suffering from evaporative dry eye were included in this prospective, randomised two-centre trial.
