Tear Film Stability Enhancer

01
Overview
A tear film stability enhancer is not a single molecule or receptor, but rather refers to any agent, formulation, or mechanism that improves the stability of the tear film on the ocular surface. Tear film stability is crucial for maintaining ocular comfort, clear vision, and protecting the eye from environmental insults and pathogens. Instability of this thin fluid layer leads to dry eye symptoms and can result in damage to the ocular surface. They work by supplementing deficient components, stimulating secretion of natural components, or protecting against environmental stressors that destabilize the tear film.
