The lacrimal glands are paired exocrine glands, one for each eye, found in most terrestrial vertebrates and some marine mammals, that secrete the aqueous layer of the tear film. [1] In humans, they ...
Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) of the lacrimal gland detects characteristic features of chronic ocular graft-vs-host disease (coGVHD) including a finding that researchers are ...
Tear secretion has hitherto only been measured with the Schirmer test which may be affected by the pooling of tears behind the prosthesis. In this study, direct imaging of the lacrimal gland has been ...
The second layer is the intermediate aqueous layer; this layer forms the majority of the tears and is derived from the main lacrimal gland with minor contributions from the accessory lacrimal ...
The amount of tear secretion was measured through direct imaging of the lacrimal gland, while the presence of meibomian glands was assessed using meibography. Dry eye symptoms among the study group ...
