Effect of lipid-based dry eye supplements on the tear film in wearers of eye cosmetics

Highlights • Investigator-masked, randomised paired-eye trial in eyeliner users (n = 50). • Lipid containing lubricant drop applied to one eye, liposomal spray to fellow eye. • Tear film parameters compared pre-treatment and 15 min post-treatment. • Lipid supplements increase lipid layer grade but a...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Investigator-masked, randomised paired-eye trial in eyeliner users (n = 50). • Lipid containing lubricant drop applied to one eye, liposomal spray to fellow eye. • Tear film parameters compared pre-treatment and 15 min post-treatment. • Lipid supplements increase lipid layer grade but also tear film contamination. • Tear film stability is unaffected by eyeliner users following either treatment.
