| Summary: |
The ocular surface, tear
film, lacrimal glands act as a functional unit to
preserve the quality of the refractive surface of the
eye, and to resist injury and protect the eye against
bodily and environmental conditions. Homeostasis of this
functional unit involves neuronal and hormonal
regulatory mechanisms. The eye appears to be a target
organ for sex hormones, particulary the androgen, as
they modulate the immune system and trophic functions of
the lacrimal and Meibomian glands. |
