tear film break-up time in bipolar disorder.
ocular dryness is a well-recognized adverse side effect of many topical and systemic medications. in psychiatry, patients who have consumed such drugs as lithium carbonate and sodium valproate frequently experience dry eye symptoms. the purpose of this study was to compare tear film stability between patients who use these drugs with those patients who are not on medication.after obtaining info...
متن کاملEffects of Systane® Balance on noninvasive tear film break-up time in patients with lipid-deficient dry eye
PURPOSE To evaluate the ability of Systane(®) Balance (SYSB) administered four times per day for 4 weeks to increase noninvasive tear film break-up time (NITFBUT) over baseline compared with a saline (SAL) control in patients with lipid-deficient dry eye (DE). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients aged ≥18 years with DE and evidence of meibomian gland dysfunction (ie, abnormal gland expression and mi...

متن کاملA compositional based model for the tear film lipid layer.
BACKGROUND The tear film lipid layer is formed from lipids secreted by meibomian glands of the eyelid. After initial analyses of these lipids we concluded that an understanding of the function of the various classes of lipids in a normal lipid layer could only be understood after detailed investigations of both polar and nonpolar lipids of the meibomian gland. METHODS Meibomian gland secretio...
متن کاملTurnover rate of tear-film lipid layer determined by fluorophotometry
AIM This study was performed to independently assess the turnover rates of aqueous and lipid layers of the tear film. METHODS Two fluorescent dyes, fluorescein sodium and 5-dodecanoylaminofluorescein (DAF), which is a free-fatty-acid conjugate of fluorescein, were applied to the right eye of 12 healthy volunteers. Fluorescent intensity of the precorneal tear film was measured at the central c...
