Blinking exercises are preplanned, where you make a conscious effort to blink your eyes. They may help with dry eye disease. Dry eye is a common condition where your eyes don’t have enough tears to ...

Blink frequency of 20 blinks per minute improves tear meniscus height and tear break-up time in dry eye patients. The study involved 45 participants aged 14 to 35, using eye-tracking glasses to ...

In patients with evaporative dry eye, blinking exercises can help decrease partial blinking and improve meibomian gland function and symptoms, according to a new study. Detecting and quantifying ...

Changes in the lipid layer of the eyes' natural tear film may contribute to the common problem of contact lens discomfort. Changes in the lipid layer of the eyes' natural tear film may contribute to ...

WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed a new non-invasive optical imaging system that promises to improve diagnosis and treatments for dry eye disease. Dry eye, which often causes irritation and ...

The latest iteration of an eye-on-a-chip has a mechanical eyelid to simulate blinking and was used to test an experimental drug for dry eye disease. By incorporating human cells into an engineered ...

Fluid is then pumped through both the upper and lower chambers, placing pressure on both sides of the layer of corneal tissue. This simulates the manner in which a real cornea is subjected to pressure ...

A new non-invasive optical imaging system could help to improve diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease, a condition arising when the inner layer of the tear film protecting the outside of the eye ...

This review describes the impact of contact lens wear on the tear film lipid layer and how changes in the lipid layer might modulate contact lens-related discomfort. Relevant clinical, functional, and ...

A collaborative team from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) has developed a contact lens prototype that is specifically designed to prevent contact lens-induced dry eye (CLIDE).

People who spend eight or more hours a day staring at a computer screen may notice their eyes becoming tired or dry, and, if those conditions are severe enough, they may eventually develop dry eye ...
