A solute gradient in the tear meniscus. II. Implications for lid margin disease, including meibomian gland dysfunction.
We have hypothesized previously that evaporation from the tears generates a solute gradient across the tear meniscus, which delivers hyperosmolar stress to the mucocutaneous junction (MCJ) of the lid margin. This is proposed as the basis for Marx's line, a line of staining with topically applie...
