Mucins and Ocular Surface Disease

2002
The ocular surface epithelium is covered by the tear film that consists of three layers: the lipid, aqueous, and mucus layers. The mucus layer is composed primarily of mucin proteins secreted by goblet cells. In addition to goblet cells of the ocular surface epithelium, the corneal and conjunctival epithelia also produces mucin.

Ocular Surface Disease

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1984
To the Editor. —Kinoshita et al1should be congratulated for further elucidating some aspects of ocular surface disease. Their use of a more sensitive indicator for mucinlike glycoproteins is a distinct step forward. The fact that this type of material is seen in the tears of patients with significantly decreased conjunctival goblet cells is ...

Methodologies for the Study of Ocular Surface Disease

The Ocular Surface, 2005
The ability to obtain reliable results from clinical trials of therapies for ocular allergic disease and dry eye disease is often limited because of inadequate control of variables, such as environment, patient life style, compliance, and individual fluctuations that occur from one assessment visit to another.
