Our understanding of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), also known as dry eye syndrome, has been changed over recent years. Until lately, the condition was thought to be merely due to aqueous tear insufficiency. Today, it is understood that KCS is a multifactorial disorder due to inflammation of the ocular surface and lacrimal gland, neurotrophic deficiency and meibomian gland dysfunction. This change in paradigm has led to the development of new and more effective medications.
近年来,我们对干燥性角结膜炎(KCS),也称为干眼综合征的认识发生了变化。直到最近,人们还认为这种病症仅仅是由于泪液分泌不足所致。如今,我们明白KCS是一种多因素疾病,是由眼表和泪腺炎症、神经营养缺乏以及睑板腺功能障碍引起的。这种范式的转变导致了新的、更有效的药物的研发。
