Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Are you aware of the recent lipid-based lubricant therapy in managing evaporative dry eye disease (DED)? Evaporative dry eye is characterized by disruption in the tear film lipid layer. An alteration in the tear film lipids leads to hyperosmolarity and increases evaporation, resulting in ocular surface dryness, inflammation, and damage. Lipid-based artificial tears can enhance tear film break-up time, lessen ocular discomfort, and improve the quality of life of DED patients. Learn more about how lipid-based therapy is effective for DED patients through this article! Highlights-- Functions of the tears in the eye
- Different layers of the tear film
- Role of the tear film lipid layer
- Pathophysiology of DED and lipid-based eye lubricants for DED
- Characteristics of liposomes and emulsions used in DED treatments
- Clinical study on the effectiveness of lipid-based artificial tears in DED
