“…Changes in the tear protein levels have been observed in some pathological ocular conditions such as ocular inflammation and infections [1,2,19]. It has been suggested that deficiency of lacrimal proteins (such as lactoferrin and lysozyme) may be the earliest sign of aqueousdeficient dry eye [12,13].…”

Although the between-day differences in tear protein levels were not statistically significant, the variations in some proteins would be large in magnitude. The variability of tear protein levels obtained by the eye-flush method was larger than that by the yawn method. Therefore, caution should be taken if the eye-flush method is used for sampling tears for quantitative analysis of tear proteins, although it is easier to collect tear samples using this method. The results will be useful to exclude normal variation in tear protein levels when comparing pre- and post-therapeutic tear protein levels in eyes treated for tear-related abnormalities.

“…2 The most note¬ worthy change in the tear lysozyme level is the reduction reported in ker¬ atoconjunctivitis sicca. 1·3·68 Van Bijsterveld7 showed the lyso¬ zyme assay to be more accurate than the Schirmer's and rose bengal tests in diagnosing the dry eye syndrome.…”
