Pentacam and corneal topography were more sensitive to tear film abnormalities when measuring the curvature of the cornea in those with dry eye.

Best-corrected visual acuity, corneal fluorescein staining, tear film break-up time, Schirmer I test, and keratometry were performed before and after surgery.

Collagen scaffold spurs regeneration of corneal cells, nerves, tear film In the first human clinical trial of a biosynthetic cornea, all implants remained viable at 2 years, with no tissue rejection.

The third eyelid is also believed to help keep the surface of the eye moister by holding the tear film against the cornea better than the eyelids do by themselves.

Experts also believe that the third eyelid helps to keep the surface of the eye moist, by holding the tear film against the cornea more tightly than the upper and lower eyelids alone.

Other contributing causes are changes in corneal sensation, tear film, and the immune response of resident corneal cells.
