Ocular Surface Hydration
- Molecular classification
- Other
01
Overview
Ocular Surface Hydration refers to the maintenance of adequate moisture on the cornea and conjunctiva by the tear film. This is essential for corneal transparency, lubrication, protection from environmental insults, and nutrient delivery. Regulation involves a complex interplay of tear production, tear film composition, evaporation rates, and neural reflexes. Insufficient hydration leads to dry eye disease.
