Abstract:
Bacteriologic factors, such as enzymes and toxins produced by microbes, are one of diverse etiologic factors in dry eye syndrome. We investigated the conjunctival bacterial flora in dry eye patients and compared the results between dry eye patients and normal persons. There were no differences in bacterial flora between the two groups.
