Dear Renukaprasad A R, Do you agree that IFN-y modulates conjunctival epithelial squamous metaplasia caused by dry eyes? Dry eye is one of the most common medical diseases, affecting 7% to 20% of the adult population over the age of 40. Several components of the microenvironment contribute to the homeostasis of the ocular surface. Therefore, successful dry eye treatment should be aimed at restoring the homeostasis of the ocular surface microenvironment.
