“…f top interpolates the influx between the top and bottom, with unity allowing influx only at the top; we typically use 0.6 ≤ f top ≤ 0.75. Assigning most influx of new tear fluid from the upper lid seems reasonable due to the critical nature of the lacrimal gland in tear film secretion (Lorber, 2007) and from tear film observations (Maurice, 1973;Doane, 1981). The factor f out keeps drainage of tear fluid from the film evenly split when its value is 0.5, and we may consider values in the interval [0,1]; typically, we used 0.5 ≤ f out ≤ 0.65 here.…”

“…Having f top < 1 allows for some influx from the bottom; this is possible physiologically because the inferior and superior menisci communicate via the canthus (Maurice, 1973), and there are also relatively small lacrimal glands in the lower lid as well (Lorber, 2007).…”

“…The lacrimal glands (LGs) are paired, almond-shaped structures, located at the upper-outer portions of orbits, adjacent to the lateral and superior rectus muscles [1]. The LG is a target tissue especially in autoimmune and granulomatous diseases.…”

“…Medialseitig wird sie durch die aponeurotische Sehne des M. levator palpebrae eingekerbt und damit in eine Pars orbitalis und Pars palpebralis eingeteilt [1,3]. Die größere Pars orbitalis (60 -75% der Gesamtdrüse) [2] liegt dabei tiefer in der Orbita posterosuperior, die Pars palpebralis anteroinferior der Aponeurose des M. levator papebrae (Abb. 1).…”
