Low‐level light therapy for dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract A healthy tear film is vital for ocular surface integrity and relies on the coordinated function of the lacrimal glands, meibomian glands and conjunctival goblet cells. Dysfunction in any of these elements can lead to dry eye disease (DED). This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the efficacy of low‐level light therapy (LLLT) as a ...

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 ...
