This study investigates dry eye disease, a condition affecting many people worldwide. The purpose is to understand the role of mucins, which are proteins that help with lubrication between the eye surface and eyelids. By comparing people with and without dry eye disease, researchers hope to learn more about the condition and improve diagnosis.
Participants in this study will undergo screening to determine their group based on their OSDI score, a measure of dry eye symptoms. The study will involve collecting data about mucins on the ocular surface, which will then be analyzed to identify any differences between the groups.
- Who can participate: Adults aged 18 or older who can understand and sign consent forms may participate. They must not wear contact lenses or use certain eye medications recently.
- Study details: Data collected will be analyzed to understand differences in mucins between those with and without dry eye disease.
