Abstract
In tear dysfunction conditions, lower tear volume correlates with worse corneal epithelial disease in ATD and Sjögren syndrome, conditions with lacrimal gland dysfunction. In contrast, higher tear volume is associated with corneal epithelial disease in MGD. These findings may improve the ability to identify patients at risk for corneal epithelial disease.
