TFOS DEWS II Tear Film Report [PDF]
Ocular Surface, 2017 The members of the Tear Film Subcommittee reviewed the role of the tear film in dry eye disease (DED). The Subcommittee reviewed biophysical and biochemical aspects of tears and how these change in DED.

Biomicroscopy of the tear film: the tear film of the pekingese dog
Veterinary Record, 1989Polarised light biomicroscopy was used to examine the normal pre-corneal tear film in 21 eyes of 12 pekingese dogs. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of excessive exophthalmos on the pre-corneal tear film in the dog. The majority of the animals were found to have high levels of ocular surface contamination by particulate material ...

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2003
The importance of the tear film for the integrity of the ocular surface is well established. Full-term neonates produce tears normally, but low spontaneous blink rates during early life raises important questions regarding tear dynamics and stability. Although an afferent neural pathway that could potentially detect tear break-up is in place at birth ...

Tear film imager for dynamic mapping of the human tear film
Applied Optics, 2019Dry eye (DE) disease is a multifactorial disease of the outer ocular surface characterized by several ocular symptoms and mainly by tear film instability. We have developed an optical imaging system, the tear film imager (TFI), which is the first instrument that can directly image the muco-aqueous tear layer physical dimension in vivo and evaluate its ...

Tear film stability and tear surface tension
Current Eye Research, 1989Surface tension has been measured by the method of Ferguson and Kennedy on small (0.3-0.4 microliter) samples of tears from 65 normal and 35 dry eyes. Non-invasive break-up time (NIBUT) was also measured on the same patients as an indication of tear film stability.

Abstract A contact lens practitioner needs to know more about the quantity and quality of the patient's tears. Methods are described for assessing the pH, osmotic pressure, protein content, and glucose content of tears.

In vivo tear-film thickness determination and implications for tear-film stability
Current Eye Research, 1998Previous measurements of tear-film thickness in vivo are limited and cannot be easily applied in a clinical setting. A novel technique to measure tear-film thickness indirectly is introduced here, requiring only a slit lamp, video camera, and computer.

Role of lactoferrin in the tear film
Biochimie, 2009The surface of the eye provides an inert barrier against infection. Through its unique combination of antimicrobial action and anti-inflammatory activities lactoferrin (Lf) in the tear film plays an important role in the maintenance of ocular health. In order to maintain clarity the eye must provide immunological defense without immunopathology.

Abstract Current understanding of tear film physiology is based on the anatomy of each of the three layers, as well as on the changes that occur with blinking and on the physicochemical properties of the tear fluid. Abnormalities in tear film may be due to deficiency of aqueous tears or mucin, changes in the lipid layer, inadequate ...
