During the past decade a significant international research effort
has been directed towards understanding the composition and
regulation of the preocular tear film. This effort has been
motivated by the recognition that the tear film plays an essential
role in maintaining corneal and conjunctival integrity, protecting
against microbial challenge and preserving visual acuity. In
addition, research has been stimulated by the knowledge that
alteration or deficiency of the tear film, which occurs in
countless individuals throughout the world, may lead to desiccation
of the ocular surface, ulceration and perforation of the cornea, an
increased incidence of infectious disease, and potentially,
pronounced visual disability and blindness. 7 To promote further
progress in this field of vision research, the International
Conference on the Lacrimal Gland, Tear Film and Dry Eye Syndromes:
Basic Science and Clinical Relevance was held in the Southampton
Princess Resort in Bermuda from November 14 to 17, 1992. This
meeting was designed to assess critically the current knowledge and
'state of the art' research on the structure and function of
lacrimal tissue and tears in both health and disease. The goal of
this conference was to provide an international exchange of
information that would be of value to basic scientists involved in
eye research, to physicians in the ophthalmological community, and
to pharmaceutical companies with an interest in the treatment of
lacrimal gland, tear film or ocular surface disorders (e. g.
Sjogren's syndrome).
