Improving Stability of Tear Film Lipid Layer via Concerted Action of Two Drug Molecules: A Biophysical View

Improving Stability of Tear Film Lipid Layer via Concerted Action of Two Drug Molecules: A Biophysical View

The tear film at the ocular surface is covered by a thin layer of lipids. This oily phase stabilizes the film by decreasing its surface tension and improving its viscoelastic properties. Clinically, destabilization and rupture of the tear film are related to dry eye disease and are accompanied by ch...
