LAYERS OF TEAR FILM• Outer Lipid layer• Middle Aqueous layer• Inner Mucin layer

STRUCTURE• LIPID LAYER• Derived from secretions from
Meibomian, Zeiss and Moll glands.• Cholesterol esters , phospholipids
and wax• 0.1 µm in thickness• Prevents the overflow of tears• Retards their evaporation
![Page 6: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• AQUEOUS LAYER• Secreted by the lacrimal gland and the accessory glands of Krause and Wolfring.• Responsible for reflex and basal secretion.• 10 µm in thickness• Main bulk of the tear film.• Aqueous solution of inorganic salts, glucose, urea, proteins and glycoproteins.• Lysozyme, lactoferrin, albumin immunoglobulin A are the main constituents of
protein fraction.• Functions: • 1. provides atmospheric oxygen to the corneal epithelium• 2. washes away debris• 3. Contains antibacterial substances like lysozyme.
![Page 7: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• MUCOUS LAYER• Innermost layer• Secreted by the conjunctival goblet cells.• The superficial epithelial cells of the cornea and conjunctiva produce
transmembrane mucins that form their glycocalyx.• Plays a vital role in the stability of the tear film.• Clear corneal epithelium is hydrophobic surface. The mucin gets
adsorbed on the cell membrane of epithelial cells and anchored by their microvilli forming a new hydrophilic surface.• Provides a slippery coating over the foreign bodies, thereby
protecting the cornea and conjunctiva against abrasive effects of particles.

TEAR SECRETIONBASAL SECRETION• Tears are continuously secreted by the
accessory glands.• Keeps the cornea moist, lubricates the eye and
help to keep it clear of dust.
REFLEX SECRETION• Due to irritation of the eye by foreign particles. • Evaporation of tear film.• Bright light• These reflex tears attempt to wash out irritants
that have come in contact with the eye.• By main lacrimal gland.

ELIMINATION OF TEARS
![Page 16: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• On eye closure:• Contraction of pretarsal orbicularis oculi shortens the ampulla and
canaliculi and propels the tear fluid present into lacrimal sac.• Contraction of preseptal fibres of orbicularis pulls the lacrimal fascia
and lacrimal sac, thereby opening the normally closed lacrimal sac. This produces negative pressure and draws tears from canaliculi into the lacrimal sac.
![Page 17: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

TESTS FOR TEAR FILM ADEQUACY
![Page 25: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• TEAR FILM BREAK UP TIME• Defined as the interval between a complete blink and appearance
of the first randomly distributed dry spot on the cornea.• Noted after instilling a drop of fluorescein and examining in the
cobalt blue light.• 10 seconds is the cut off point for normal individuals.• Mucin deficiency
![Page 26: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
FLUORESCEIN STAINING• The intact corneal epithelium because of its high lipid content resists
penetration of water soluble fluorescein and is not stained by it. • Any break in the epithelium barrier permits fluorescein penetration
and staining.
![Page 27: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ROSE BENGAL STAINING• Stains mucous, debris and devitalized cells of corneal and conjunctival
epithelium.
![Page 28: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
LISSAMINE GREEN STAINING• Vital staining properties almost identical with those of rose Bengal.• Stains degenerated and dead cells and mucus.• Less irritating as compared to rose Bengal.
![Page 29: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
MARGINAL TEAR STRIP CHARACTERISTICS• Marginal tear meniscus is a continuous, full and slightly concave
meniscus formed by tears between the eyelid margin and the inferior bulbar conjunctiva where the lid touches the globe.• 0.5- 1 mm is considered as normal.• Less than 1 suggests tear deficiency.
![Page 30: Dr. r.subramaniyan, 08 3-17 tear film](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f9b24a760da3da068bc9a9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
CONJUNCTIVAL IMPRESSION CYTOLOGY• Non- invasive technique of impression cytology, where conjunctival
impressions are taken to examine cellular structure.• Cells are obtained by using cellulose acetate filter material to make
impression.
