Cytokine upregulation and ocular surface dysbiosis in lacrimal drainage pathway disease and its associated keratopathy: a prospective multicenter observational study

Abstract Background To elucidate the pathogenesis of lacrimal drainage pathway disease-associated keratopathy (LDAK), we investigated the cytokine profile in tear fluid and the ocular surface microbiome in patients with lacrimal duct disorders. Methods This multi-center prospecti...
