This project investigates the tear film lipid layer's role in dry eye syndrome and glaucoma treatment. By analyzing lipid classes and their interactions, it aims to develop new therapeutic formulations to enhance tear film stability and address ocular surface diseases.
Since 2012 the interest to the studies of the tear film lipid layer (TFLL) stabilizing the air/tear surface has dramatically raised.
Firstly TFLL related abnormalities may be the main reason for dry eye syndrome (DES), the most prevalent ophthalmic public health disease affecting the quality of life of 10-30% of the human population worldwide and resulting in > €3.5 billion annual cost for EU.
Secondly due to TFLL exceptionally slow turnover rate of 0.93 (±0.36)%/min, ophthalmic nanoemulsions m…
