A previous literature review reported tear evaporation rates (TERs) from studies conducted on rabbits and humans between 1941 and 2003. Closer examination of the presented data revealed inaccuracies in the reporting of some values. This paper presents updated tables of TERs using values from the original papers cited in the review, in addition to incorporating new studies published between 2003 and 2016.
A copy of each paper cited in the literature review was obtained and checked against the evaporation rate reported in the review. If the expected value could not be found in the cited paper, other papers by the same author were consulted to see if the value had been reported elsewhere. A PubMed and Scopus database search was conducted to find papers published on tear evaporimetry since 2003.
Two new tables of TERs were created, based on the values reported by the original author. To aid in interpretation, the majority of results are expressed in units of x 10 g/cm/sec. Where it was not possible to convert these values, some values are expressed as x 10 g/sec, x 10 g/sec/eye or W/min.
Two new tables of TERs have been compiled to provide an accurate representation of the values reported in the original papers. These tables can be used as a point of reference for other researchers to compare their results.
之前的一篇文献综述报告了 1941 年至 2003 年期间在兔子和人类身上进行的研究中的泪液蒸发率（TER）。对所呈现数据的更仔细检查表明，一些值的报告存在不准确之处。本文使用文献综述中引用的原始论文中的值提供了更新的 TER 表，此外还纳入了 2003 年至 2016 年期间发表的新研究。
获得文献综述中引用的每篇论文的副本，并与综述中报告的蒸发率进行核对。如果在引用的论文中找不到预期的值，则会查阅同一作者的其他论文，以查看该值是否在其他地方报告过。对 Pubmed 和 Scopus 数据库进行了检索，以查找自 2003 年以来发表的关于泪液蒸发测量的论文。
根据原始作者报告的值创建了两个新的 TER 表。为了便于解释，大多数结果以 x 10g/cm/sec 表示。在无法转换这些值的情况下，一些值以 x 10g/sec、x 10g/sec/eye 或 W/min 表示。
编制了两个新的 TER 表，以准确表示原始论文中报告的值。这些表格可以作为其他研究人员比较其结果的参考点。
