Tear Film (Ocular Surface) (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Extracellular matrix, Lubricant, Protective barrier
01
Overview
The tear film is a complex, thin layer covering the ocular surface, essential for maintaining eye health and vision quality. It protects the eye from environmental insults, lubricates the ocular surface, and provides a smooth refracting surface for light. It consists of three layers: lipid, aqueous and mucin.
