Electronic enhancement of tear secretion.
OBJECTIVE To study electrical stimulation of the lacrimal gland and afferent nerves for enhanced tear secretion, as a potential treatment for dry eye disease. We investigate the response pathways and electrical parameters to safely maximize tear secretion. APPROACH We evaluated the tear response to electrical stimulation of the lacrimal gland and afferent nerves in isofluorane-anesthetized ra...
متن کاملTear secretion and tear film function in insulin dependent diabetics.
BACKGROUND Diabetic patients often complain of dry eye symptoms, such as burning and/or foreign body sensation. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether diabetes mellitus is correlated with tear film dysfunction and/or tear hyposecretion. METHODS In 86 consecutive insulin dependent diabetics with retinopathy and 84 non-diabetic controls (age and sex matched) we performed fluoro...

Purpose: The established methods for observing the morghnl-og;i nF the teer film a=~ based on ;nierfrrenc~ techniques. Since interference patterns are visible only in e pathologically thickened tear film, these techniques are not useful for the physiological tear film morphology. Methods: A ne;.approach is Brewster Angle Microscopy n-which allows the studv of ultra-thin films. In ophthalmology ...
متن کاملtear secretion and tear film instability after laser in situ keratomileusis vs laser assisted subepithelial keratectomy
purpose: to evaluate and compare tear secretion and tear film instability following laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) and laser assisted subepithelial keratectomy (lasek). methods: in a randomized clinical trial, 30 eyes of 15 patients underwent lasik and 30 eyes of 15 patients underwent lasek to correct myopia. tear secretion and tear film instability were tested preoperatively, 2 and 6 wee...
