Budget impact analysis (BIA) of the TearCare System for the treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)-associated dry eye disease (DED) in the United States (US)

Expert Review of Ophthalmology
TearCare is an in-office procedure indicated to restore MGD and relieve DED signs and symptoms. MGD is a major cause of DED, a high prevalence condition currently treated with medical therapies including over-the-counter and prescription drops. The BIA assessed the budget impact of increasing the TearCare market share against prescription drops in ...

Short‐Chain Fatty Acids: Microbial Metabolites Driving Gut‐Eye Axis Signaling

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2026.
Short‐chain fatty acids generated by gut microbial fermentation link diet to ocular physiology via the gut–eye axis. Through systemic distribution, these metabolites regulate GPCR signaling, epigenetic pathways, inflammation, and angiogenesis, shaping retinal homeostasis and highlighting therapeutic potential in ocular vascular and inflammatory ...

Diagnostic Test Efficacy of Meibomian Gland Morphology and Function [PDF]

, 2019
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of dry eye and proposed treatments are based on disease severity. Our purpose was to establish reliable morphologic measurements of meibomian glands for evaluating MGD severity.

Outcome parameters in studies investigating dry eye disease: A systematic literature review

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page e363-e372, June 2026.
Abstract The development of effective therapeutics for dry eye disease (DED) is challenging due to its complex pathophysiology, heterogeneous patient presentation and the significant failure rate of previous clinical development programs. This underlines the importance of the selection of appropriate endpoints for clinical trials.
