摘要 Based on abnormalities in tear film structure and dynamics, dry eye syndrome is primarily classified into five types: aqueous-deficient, mucin-deficient, evaporative/lipid-deficient, tear dynamics disorder, and mixed type. The disease has diverse triggers, commonly including: lacrimal gland dysfunction; meibomian gland dysfunction accelerating tear evaporation; reduced blinking due to prolonged electronic device use; contact lens wear interfering with the tear film; medication side effects; environmental factors; hormonal fluctuations; certain ophthalmic surgeries, for example, LASIK. Treatment requires targeting specific pathogenic mechanisms, with the core focus on controlling inflammation, restoring tear film stability, and improving related gland function.
