Effects of Slit Lamp Examination on Tear Osmolarity in Normal Controls and Dry Eye Patients

Bioengineering
Background/Objective: Tear hyperosmolarity is the main triggering factor in the immunopathogenesis of dry eye disease (DED). Tear osmolarity is known as the relevant metric to evaluate DED severity; however, measuring tear osmolarity after slit lamp ...

Effects of adjuvant omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on dry eye syndrome following cataract surgery: A randomized clinical trial

Journal of Current Ophthalmology, 2017
Purpose: To investigate the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplement on qualitative and quantitative subjective (ocular surface disease index [OSDI]) and objective (Schirmer's test, tear break up time [TBUT], and tear osmolarity) dry eye ...

Predicting an unstable tear film through artificial intelligence

Scientific Reports, 2022
Dry eye disease is one of the most common ophthalmological complaints and is defined by a loss of tear film homeostasis. Establishing a diagnosis can be time-consuming, resource demanding and unpleasant for the patient.

Spectroscopic Analysis of Hydration Structures in PEG‐ and PMPC‐Containing Hydrogels by Pressure‐Controlled ATR‐IR Combined With Multivariate Curve Resolution

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydration structures govern the properties and functions of hydrogels, yet selectively measuring hydration water in the presence of abundant bulk water remains analytically challenging. Here we applied pressure‐controlled attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐IR) combined with multivariate curve resolution (MCR) analysis, a ...

A Versatile Microfluidic Manufacturing Platform for Macroscale Multicore Hydrogel Capsules Toward Programmable Oral Delivery of Therapeutics

Small, EarlyView.
This study presents a microfluidic fabrication method for millimeter‐scale multicore hydrogel capsules containing multiple aqueous cores physically isolated by oil layers. These macrocapsules exhibit mechanical and chemical robustness effectively protecting cargos under simulated gastric conditions.

Tear Film Osmolarity in Patients with Graves Ophthalmopathy

Electronic Journal of General Medicine, 2014
To investigate changes of tear osmolarity in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy (GO). Twenty-three patients with GO (GO group) and 25 healthy controls (control group) were enrolled in the study. GO patients were divided into two subgroups as active GO and inactive GO subgroups.

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 ...

Ocular Manifestations of Metabolic Syndrome: A Systemic Vascular Phenotype

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 9809-9818, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Context Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia. MetS affects over one‐third of US adults. Beyond its cardiovascular burden, MetS has clinically relevant associations with ocular health and may contribute to a systemic vascular and neuro‐metabolic phenotype involving the retina,
