Dry eye disease, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a condition caused by disturbances in the tear film that leads to an unstable tear film when the eye is open. It is a common reason for visits to ophthalmologists and affects about 75% of people over age 65, with the average patient being 54 years old. The disease involves inflammation that disrupts the normal feedback loop controlling tear production. Diagnosis involves tests like tear breakup time and Schirmer tests, and treatment focuses on replacing tears through artificial drops or increasing natural tear production through drugs like cyclosporine drops.

- Dry eye disease Results from localized immune-mediated inflammation that ultimately affects the entire ocular surface/lacrimal gland/neural feedback functional unit. The main and accessory lacrimal glands: Susceptible to inflammation due to decreased neural or androgen support. Activation of lymphocytes leads to T-cell-mediated inflammation, cytokine production, the presence of cytokines in tears, and acinar cell apoptosis. The ocular surface: Cytokines in tears trigger inflammation (T-cell and epithelial cell activation, leukocyte recruitment) on the ocular surface, disrupt epithelial cell function, interfere with mucin production. Irritation can also trigger chemically mediated inflammation leading to activation of trafficking lymphocytes (T cells). The neural feedback loop: Sensory activity on the ocular surface is disrupted by pro-inflammatory cytokines and compromised epithelial cells, impacting afferent signaling. Sensory input to the lacrimal glands is decreased by disruption of the neuronal loop and by the direct inhibitory effect of inflammatory cytokines in the glands on secretomotor nerve endings. Dysfunction in any one element can lead to dysfunction in all elements, with subsequent development of chronic inflammation and dry eye disease. Inadequate tear production, altered tear composition, or secretion of inflammatory substances into tears can result in ocular surface inflammation.

- To understand dry eye disease as a disorder of the tear film, we need to appreciate the components of tears and their functions in the normal, healthy tear film. Normal, healthy tears contain, in addition to water, a complex mixture of proteins, mucins, and electrolytes. The most abundant proteins have antimicrobial functions: lysozyme and lactoferrin. Immunoglobulins, such as IgA, IgG, and IgM, also have protective functions. Cells are constantly sloughed off and lost from the most superficial layer of ocular epithelia. Growth factors are very small proteins that regulate the process for replacement of epithelial cells and are necessary for wound healing. Many growth factors are present in tears, including epidermal growth factor (EGF), as shown here. Mucins are critical for the viscosity of the tear film. The soluble mucin (mucin 5AC) is secreted by conjunctival goblet cells, whereas membrane-bound mucins originate from the epithelial cells they are bound to. The electrolyte concentrations in healthy tears are maintained in the proper ranges to ensure correct osmolarity, which is important for many aspects of epithelial and nerve cell function.

- Now let’s look at the abnormal composition of tears that are characteristic of chronic dry eye. The concentrations of many tear proteins, including those with antimicrobial functions, are reduced. Growth factor concentrations are reduced as well. The soluble mucin 5AC is greatly reduced in concentration because of the profound loss of goblet cells from the conjunctival epithelium that is typical of chronic dry eye. This impacts the viscosity of the tear film. Proteases, which are normally latent and inactivated in healthy tears, become activated. They can degrade the extracellular matrix and the tight junctions between adjacent cells of the corneal epithelium. Activated proteases are also responsible for cleavage of many cytokines into an activated pro-inflammatory form. The concentration of electrolytes increases, meaning that the osmolarity of the tear film is increased in chronic dry eye. References Solomon A, Dursun D, Liu Z, Xie Y, Macri A, Pflugfelder SC.

- The prevalence of dry eye increases with age, particularly for women age 50 or older, and among postmenopausal women using hormone replacement therapy. This association with postmenopausal status is consistent with the known role of androgens in stimulation of the lacrimal and meibomian glands, which help maintain a normal tear film. Androgen levels naturally decline after menopause. Ocular comorbidities such as graft-versus-host disease, xerophthalmia, cicatricial pemphigoid, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and ocular rosacea are also associated with increased risk of dry eye disease. Smokers are also at risk, perhaps due to repeated irritation of the ocular surface by smoke. Patients who feel the need to use artificial tears 3 or more times per day should always be evaluated further for dry eye disease. References Schaumberg DA, Sullivan DA, Buring JE, Dana MR.

- The Schirmer test (minus anesthesia) measures reflex tear secretion “ Schirmer I” With anesthesia (“Schirmer II”), eliminates stimulated tearing Stimulated tearing can occur because of introduction of the filter paper strip Measures so-called “basal” tearing A filter paper strip is introduced to the lower lid of the eye. Dry eye is indicated if less than 10 mm of the strip becomes wet with tears after 5 minutes of exposure. Lemp, CLAO J. 1995;21:221-232.
