Purpose To calibrate and validate a commercially available dermatology instrument to
measure tear evaporation rate of contact lens wearers. Methods A dermatology instrument …

A novel in vivo flow evaporimeter is developed to measure human tear-evaporation rates.
The flow evaporimeter relies on a well-defined flow field to the eye with known and …

In this paper we have studied the thermal fluctuation patterns occurring at the ocular surface
of the left and right eyes for aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE) patients and control subjects …

The work presented here describes the development and use of a three-dimensional thermo-
dynamic model of the human eye for the prediction of temperatures and damage thresholds …

Purpose.: The purpose of this study was to determine how increasing ocular surface
stimulation affected blinking and sensation, while controlling task concentration. Methods …

Purpose: To investigate ocular surface temperature in eyes with pterygium and dry eye
disease. Methods: Eighteen eyes of 18 patients with pterygium (group 1), 18 eyes of 18 …

We consider model problems for the tear film over multiple blink cycles with heat transfer
from the posterior side of the tear film. A nonlinear partial differential equation governs the …

An impairment of ocular blood flow regulation is commonly considered one of the main
pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the development of several eye diseases, like …

The tear film lining the ocular surface consists of three qualitatively different layers. The
hydrated (i) mucous matrix, which is composed of the epithelial glycocalyx and secreted gel …

The human tear film is a multilayer thin film that spreads on the ocular surface. It is essential
for clear vision and eye health. This thesis studies dynamics of the human tear film using …
