Antievaporative mechanism of wax esters : implications for the function of tear fluid
The tear film lipid layer (TFLL) is considered to act as an evaporation barrier and to maintain the tear film intact between blinks. In vitro methods have, however, failed to reproduce this evaporation-retarding effect. Wax esters (WEs) are a major component of the TFLL. Close to their bulk melting...
