The preocular tear film is critically important for maintaining healthy ocular surface. In lagophthalmos, increased evaporation and tear film instability can occur. The level of tear matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is considered as a possible marker of ocular surface damage and inflammation.

Dry eye syndrome can consequently develop. Instability of the tear film, hyperosmolarity and inflammatory reaction are considered as the key mechanisms of dry eye syndrome.

Case Report: A 49-year-old man presented with a decrease in visual acuity and monocular diplopia after a traumatic corneal abrasion. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography was not beneficial.
Unlabelled: The purpose of the study was to compare the levels of the intraocular pressure (NOT) measured in one eye at the same moment by three different methods: by Goldmann applanation tonometer (AT), non-contact tonometer (BT) and Tono-Pen (TP). It was further set the average variability of the performed measurements for particular tonometric methods.
Methods: NOT was assessed in 106 eyes of 106 subjects aged 7-77 years (average 34.
Unlabelled: The purpose of the study was to determine the dependence of intraocular pressure (IOP) measured by Goldmann applanation tonometer (AT), non-contact tonometer (BT) and Tone-Pen (TP) on central corneal thickness (CCT) as well as the respective comparison in relation to the central corneal thickness.
Methods: CCT and IOP were assessed in 106 eyes of 106 subjects aged 7-77 years (mean 34.3 +/- 17.
