Dry eye 1 – evaporative component only

Optician, 2019
In the first of three case studies looking at dry eye presentations from different points on the dry eye sub-type continuum, Sarah Farrant considers a case of dry eye disease solely related to evaporation

Sex Steroids, the Meibomian Gland and Evaporative Dry Eye

2002
Our recent research has led to our hypothesis that gender and sex steroid hormones are critical factors in the regulation of the meibomian gland and pathogenesis of evaporative dry eye. The objective of this article is to briefly summarize the experimental basis for this hypothesis.

An Evaporative Stress Test for Borderline Dry Eye Detection

2002
Abnormalities in tear film structure depend on alterations in efficacy of tear production, drainage and evaporation systems that may disrupt the three-layer pattern of tears. Any change occurring to tear organization leads to disequilibrium, resulting in a hyperosmolar state.

Comparative Study of Two Infrared Meibographers in Evaporative Dry Eye Versus Nondry Eye Patients

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2020
Objective: To compare the measurement of the meibomian gland (MG) dropout between two infrared meibographers in patients with and without dry eye. Methods: The right eyelids of each patient were imaged using the Antares and Cobra meibography devices.

Ocular Evaporation in Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry Eye

Ophthalmology, 1993
Secretions from the meibomian gland are believed to be important in reducing ocular surface water evaporation and preventing dry eye. Patients with blepharitis frequently have meibomian gland dysfunction with loss of meibomian glands (drop out). The authors hypothesized that dry eye that often occurs in patients with chronic blepharitis is secondary to

Evaluation of aqueous-deficient and evaporative dry eye cases with confocal microscopy

Journal Français d'Ophtalmologie, 2023
Dry eye disease (DED) is an important health problem affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is a non-invasive imaging tool that can visualize ocular surface diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate corneal structures and inflammatory cells with IVCM in DED patients.The patients were divided into ...

Effectiveness of Artificial Tears in the Management of Evaporative Dry Eye

Cornea, 2012
To compare the efficacies of sodium hyaluronate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and a new oil-in-water emulsion (Emustil unidose; SIFI) in the management of lipid-deficient dry eye.Seventy-five subjects with dry eye were randomly divided into 3 groups.

Tear-deficient and evaporative dry eye syndromes of the horse

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2000
Tear-deficient dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), and evaporative dry eye, with some overlap between these two categories, are two major categories of dry eye recognized in the horse. Careful examination of the eyelid margins, the inner and outer surfaces of the upper and lower eyelids, assessment of blink and third eyelid movement, specific testing

Tear Flow and Evaporation in Patients with and without Dry Eye

Ophthalmology, 1996
To evaluate the steady-state tear flow and evaporation from the ocular surface of patients with and without dry eye.Two groups of patients, 21 with dry eye and 34 without dry eye, with similar age distributions were selected by criteria based on tear osmolarity, Schirmer test, meibomian gland loss, and dry eye symptoms and were compared for tear flow ...

Management of Evaporative Dry Eye in Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Clefting Syndrome

Optometry and Vision Science, 2008
The purpose of this study is to report the features of dry eye and ocular surface disease in an unusual case of ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting (EEC) syndrome.A single observational case report of a 22-year-old Japanese male with evaporative dry eye and corneal epithelial disease because of lipid layer abnormality resulting from meibomian ...
