Tear film lipid layer (TFLL) stabilizes the air/tear surface of the human eye. Meibomian gland
dysfunction (MGD) resulting in quantitative and qualitative modifications of TFLL major (> …

Lens and tear film lipids are as unique as the systems they reside in. The major lipid of the
human lens is dihydrosphingomylein, found in quantity only in the lens. The lens contains a …

Purpose: Relationships between tear film lipid (TFL) layer composition, structure, and
function could provide insight into the etiology of dry eye. The molar ratio of cholesteryl ester …

MRKC Meibomitis-related keratoconjunctivitis NIBUT Noninvasive breakup time of tear film

Lipids in complex, protein-enriched films at air/liquid interfaces reduce surface tension. In
the absence of this benefit, the light refracting and immunoprotective tear film on eyes would …

Cationorm®(CN) cationic nanoemulsion was demonstrated to enhance tear film (TF) stability
in vivo possibly via effects on tear film lipid layer (TFLL). Therefore the interactions of CN …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the cholesteryl ester (CE) profiles
expressed from human meibomian gland epithelial cells (HMGECs) in response to …

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a prevalent inflammatory disorder of the ocular
surface that significantly impacts patients' vision and quality of life. The underlying …

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of dry eye disease throughout the
world. Studies have shown that several molecules in meibum, including but not limited to …

Objective To determine the morphology and volume of Meibomian glands (MG) of dogs with
microCT before and after partial tarsal plate excision (PTPE), cryotherapy, and laser therapy …
