The pathogenesis of primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) remains unclear, with several factors implicated, including anatomical structures, hormones, and tear components. This study explored tear proteins to better understand PANDO etiology by comparing protein expression in tears from patients with PANDO and healthy controls. Tear samples were collected from 22 patients with PANDO (mucous and membranous types) and 8 controls using Weck-Cel sponges. Protein analysis was conduct ...[more]
