Appearance of the Preocular Tear Film Lipid Layer

Key Points

To investigate the appearance of the precorneal tear film lipid layer and its anomalies.
Examination of the tear film using a slitlamp
Assessment of lipid layer variations
Identified anomalies in the lipid layer among contact lens wearers
Observed correlations with ocular symptoms in non-contact lens wearers

Abstract

ABSTRACT Examination of the tear film by means of the slitlamp can reveal anomalies in the lipid layer. These variations may relate to contact lens wear and to ocular symptoms in patients not wearing contact lenses.
