| Description |
Dry eye syndrome is a very common disorder most commonly caused by aqueous tear deficiency. It is postulated that tear secretion is controlled by a neural reflex arc; sensory nerves in the cornea and conjunctiva pass to the brain, and motor nerves from the brain terminate in the lacrimal gland to stimulate tear secretion. |
