متن کاملBiomarkers In Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease is a multifactorial chronic disorder of the ocular surface that affects up to 100 million people worldwide. During the pathogenesis of dry eye, impaired function of the lacrimal and meibomian glands results in hyposecretion of aqueous tear fluid, coupled with increased evaporation and instability of the tear film, which becomes increasingly hyperosmolar in character at more seve...
