Purpose To determine whether the more rapid cooling of the tear film in dry eyes is related to
other tear film parameters, a battery of tear physiology tests was performed on dry eye …

Purpose: To investigate the effect of exposure to a low relative humidity (RH) environment
on tear film physiology. Method: A controlled environment chamber was used to create 2 …

Purpose: During everyday life, the tear film is exposed to a wide range of ambient
temperatures. This study aims to investigate the effect of ambient temperature on tear film …

Purpose To investigate the relationship between ocular surface temperature (OST) and tear
film thinning and breakup. Methods Simultaneous imaging of OST and fluorescein tear …

Infrared ocular thermograms were recorded for a group of 36 dry eye patients and for 27 age-
and sex-matched controls. Mean ocular surface temperature was greater in the dry eye …

Purpose. Previous work on rabbits has demonstrated a four-fold increase in tear evaporation
when the tear lipid layer is removed. However, in vitro work has suggested that the lipid …

Objectives: With increasing age and in patients affected with dry-eye symptoms, the human
tear film becomes more unstable and exhibits shorter tear break-up times. We examined …

Purpose To evaluate the tear film layer in patients with dry eye and in normal subjects by
measuring the corneal temperature with infrared radiation thermography. Methods One eye …

Infrared thermography was employed to measure the change in ocular surface temperature
on eye opening within agroup of 11 dry-eye patients and seven control subjects …

PURPOSE A quantitative analysis is presented to assess human aqueous tear evaporation
rate (TER) through intact TFLLs from simultaneous in vivo measurement of time-dependent …
