泪膜的不同组成成分通过相互作用共同维持眼球表面的湿润,从而维持眼部健康。当这些组成成分出现病理性改变,将会不同程度的影响泪膜稳态,从而导致干眼的发生。而瞬目运动一定程度上影响着泪膜组成成分的分布,随着对干眼相关机制研究的逐步深入,以泪膜为导向的诊断(tear-film-oriented diagnosis,TFOD)的新概念被提出,并被逐渐被接受。我们可以通过泪膜破裂方式来确定眼球表面所缺乏的组成成分,并在此基础上对干眼进行诊断,从而定向补充泪膜缺失成分,重新恢复泪膜稳态。本文将着重分析瞬目、泪膜形成及泪膜破裂机制之间的关系,从而进一步明确泪膜定向诊断的新概念及发展方向。
Different components of the tear film work together to maintain the wettability of the ocular surface, thus maintaining eye health. When the pathological changes of these components occur, the tear film homeostasis will be affected to varying degrees, leading to dry eye. Blinking movement affects the distribution of tear film components to some extent. With the continuous development of research and understanding of the concept and mechanism of dry eye, new concepts of tear-film-oriented diagnosis (TFOD) have been gradually proposed and widely accepted. We can determine the components lacking on the surface of the eye through the tear film breakup patterns (BUPs). On this basis, dry eye is diagnosed, so as to replenish the lacking components of tear film directionally and restore the stability of tear film. This paper will focus on analyzing the relationship between blinking, tear film formation and tear film break-up mechanism, so as to further clarify the new concept and development direction of tear-film oriented diagnosis.
