PURPOSE: Unstable tear film characterized by shorting of tear break-up time (BUT) is associated with discomfort and dryness in contact lens wearers. The glycocalyx is thought to be crucial in maintaining the wettability and lubrication of the ocular surface. We evaluated the ocular surface glycocaly
A new and facile method for the determination of critical micelle concentration (CMC) of ionic and non-ionic surfactants is proposed in this article. Carbon dots exhibited substantial fluorescence and therefore enhanced the sensitivity of this evaluation. Understanding the formation of surfactant mi

PURPOSE: To establish the validity of a fluorophotometric protocol based on 2 time points to facilitate aqueous humor flow rate calculations in minimally cooperative species.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A standard canine fluorophotometry protocol was followed in 6 dogs. Fluorescein concentrations were obt
