چکیده انگلیسی
It is proposed that a normal, effective tear film lipid layer (TFLL) should have the following four characteristics: 1) high evaporation resistance to prevent water loss and consequent hyperosmolarity; 2) respreadability, so it will return to its original state after the compression-expansion cycle of the blink; 3) fluidity sufficient to avoid blocking secretion from meibomian glands; 4) gel-like and incompressible structure that can resist forces that may tend to disrupt it. These characteristics tend to be incompatible; for example, lipids that form good evaporation barriers tend to be disrupted by compression-expansion cycles. It is noted that clues about the function and organization of the TFLL can be obtained by comparison with other biological lipid layers, such as lung surfactant and the lipid evaporation barrier of the skin. In an attempt to satisfy the conflicting characteristics, a “multilamellar sandwich model” of the TFLL is proposed, having features in common with the skin evaporation barrier.
