Quality of vision and tear film osmolarity

Optometry and Vision Science
SIGNIFICANCE We evaluate the relationship between tear film osmolarity measurements and quality of vision in patients presenting for routine eye clinic appointments. We found that the hyperosmolar group (>316 mOsm/L) had a worse quality‐of‐vision score than the normal osmolarity group, with glare being the ...

Tear Film Osmolarity, Ocular Surface Disease and Glaucoma: A Review

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, affecting more than 60 million people globally. In order to reduce the progression of the disease, both medical and surgical treatments are used. Frequent side effects of both treatments include a range of modifications of the ocular surface grouped as the Ocular Surface Disease (OSD ...

Ocular Surface Drying and Tear Film Osmolarity in Thyroid Eye Disease.

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1983
Five factors potentially associated with corneal exposure ‐ palpebral fissure width, exophthalmos, blink rate, lagophthalmos, and lid lag ‐ were evaluated in 17 patients with Graves' disease to determine which were associated with ocular surface damage.

Compartmental factors influencing tear film osmolarity

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2008
Abstract Purpose To illustrate how compartmental factors could influence the distribution of tear osmolarity at the ocular surface in normals and dry eye. Methods Mathematical modelling using parameters in the literature. Results Tear film hyperosmolarity is a final common pathway causing ocular surface damage in dry eye.

Tear Film Osmolarity in Patients Treated for Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension

Cornea, 2012
To evaluate tear film osmolarity in patients treated with intraocular pressure-lowering medications.Forty patients treated for glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT) were consecutively recruited for the study. Each patient was asked to complete an evaluation of ocular surface disease symptoms, the Ocular Surface Disease Index, and underwent a complete ...

A Proposed Mechanism for Increased Tear-Film Osmolarity in Contact Lens Wearers

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1986
Contact lenses decrease corneal sensitivity and increase tear-film osmolarity. To determine whether the decrease in corneal sensitivity is responsible for the increase in tear-film osmolarity, we studied tear-film osmolarity in normal rabbits and rabbits with surgically induced keratoconjunctivitis sicca before and after the instillation of 0.5 ...
