Assessment of mucin-related gene alterations following treatment with rebamipide ophthalmic suspension in Sjögren's syndrome-associated dry eyes.
Ocular surface mucins are thought to play vital roles in maintaining the homeostasis of the pre-ocular surface tear film. We performed ocular surface tests with impression cytology to assess the expression levels of mucin-related genes on the ocular surface in healthy eyes. In addition, we investiga...
