人泪膜是眼睛表面的3层涂层，并且该膜的任何层的损失或减少都可能导致视力模糊和眼睛烧灼痛的综合征，称为干眼症。泪腺和附属腺为泪膜提供多种成分，最显著的是水膜。这些腺体的功能障碍导致眼表面维持和健康所需的水和其他产物的损失，从而导致干眼和显著表面病理的可能性。在本文中，我们回顾了泪腺的产品，已知影响腺体的疾病，以及历史和新兴的针对泪腺功能障碍的干眼治疗。
The human tear film is a 3-layered coating of the surface of the eye and a loss, or reduction, in any layer of this film may result in a syndrome of blurry vision and burning pain of the eyes known as dry eye. The lacrimal gland and accessory glands provide multiple components to the tear film, most notably the aqueous. Dysfunction of these glands results in the loss of aqueous and other products required in ocular surface maintenance and health resulting in dry eye and the potential for significant surface pathology. In this paper, we have reviewed products of the lacrimal gland, diseases known to affect the gland, and historical and emerging dry eye therapies targeting lacrimal gland dysfunction.
