DOI: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1410-5_11
Abstract: The precorneal tear film keeps the eye surface moist and helps to maintain normal eye function. The outermost lipid layer of the tear film, which attenuates tear film evaporation, contains meibum secreted from the meibomian… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.preteyeres.2017.02.002
Abstract: ABSTRACT The thickness of tear film has been investigated under both invasive and non‐invasive methods. While invasive methods are largely historical, more recent noninvasive methods are generally based on optical approaches that provide accurate, precise,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2018.776
Abstract: We propose an alternative to the prevailing framework for modelling tear-film breakup, which posits a layered structure with a mucus layer next to the cornea and an aqueous layer on top. Experimental evidence shows continuous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.1c02475
Abstract: In healthy eyes, the tear film lipid layer (TFLL) is considered to act as an evaporation resistant barrier, which prevents eyes from drying. Seeking to understand the mechanisms behind the evaporation resistance of the TFLL,… read more here.
