Understanding of the role of the tear film lipid layer (TFLL) in evaporative dry eye requires knowledge of its structure. X-ray studies show 11.1-nm thick lamellae in meibum at tear film temperature (approximately 35°C), whereas below 30°C, 4.88-nm thick lamellae predominate. Here, high resolution microscopy of meibum spread on saline is studied as a function of temperature, to compare with x-ray results.
