Decrease in Tear Film Lipid Layer Thickness in Patients with Keratoconus. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2022 Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive corneal disorder characterized by thinning and protrusion, mostly of the inferotemporal and central corneal regions. Dysfunction of the meibomian gland, the excretions of which form the lipid layer of the tear film, has been reported to be associated with KC.

Comparison of nanoemulsion and non-emollient artificial tears on tear lipid layer thickness and symptoms. [PDF]
J Optom, 2021 Dry eye disease (DED) is often managed with over-the-counter eye drops. This study evaluated the diurnal effects of a single drop of two ocular lubricants (nanoemulsion vs. non-emollient) on tear film lipid layer thickness (LLT) and symptoms of ocular dryness.

Change in Tear Film Lipid Layer Thickness, Corneal Thickness, Volume and Topography after Superficial Cauterization for Conjunctivochalasis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractWe evaluated the change in tear film lipid layer thickness, corneal thickness, volume and topography after superficial cauterization of symptomatic conjunctivochalasis. Bilateral superficial conjunctival cauterization was performed in 36 eyes of 18 patients with symptomatic conjunctivochalasis. The mean age of patients (12 males, 6 females) was

Short-Term Changes in Tear Lipid Layer Thickness After Instillation of Lipid Containing Eye Drops. [PDF]
Transl Vis Sci Technol, 2020 Lipid-containing eye drops is increasingly popular in eye clinics to treat dry eye. Tear lipid layer thickness (LLT) changes after instillation of lipid eye drops have not been characterized. We aim to evaluate these changes of LLT using a noninvasive interferometry-based method.This prospective clinical study was conducted on staff and patients from ...
