The influence of religious fasting on basal tear secretion and tear break-up time
International Ophthalmology, 1998 Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. An extended strict fasting may influence tear secretion and quality. We investigated changes in basal tear secretion (BTS) and tear break-up time (BUT) at the beginning and at the end of fasting on 32 healthy male patients with a mean age of 22.3 +/- 2.9 years ...

Face Mask and Tear Film Stability: A Pilot Study of the Objective Measurement of Tear Break-Up Time. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2023 (1) Background: Mask-associated dry eye (MADE) has been associated with increased dry eye symptoms, apparently due to reduced tear break-up time (TBUT). This study aimed to determine the short-term impact of surgical face mask (FM) on tear film stability
