Altered cytokine balance in the tear fluid and conjunctiva of patients with Sjögren's syndrome keratoconjunctivitis sicca
TL;DR: The balance of cytokines in the tear fluid and conjunctival epithelium is altered in Sjögren's syndrome and new insight into the pathogenesis of keratoconjunctivitis is provided and potential targets for therapy are provided.

Process and device for measuring tear fluorescein clearance
TL;DR: In this article, a method of evaluating clearance of fluorescein dye instilled into tear film having a greater sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing a tear film disorder as the cause of a patient's ocular irritation and ocular surface disease than can be achieved using the traditional methods.
