Intended for researchers working in the fields of ophthalmology, optometry, biochemistry, internal medicine, pharmacology, genetics, immunology, pathology and microbiology, this book focuses on the most active and most significant macromolecular components of the tear fluid. It discusses the roles played by tear enzymes in both antibacterial defence mechanisms of the eye and the development and healing of various traumatic and inflammatory lesions of the cornea and conjunctiva. It also covers tear enzymes that can be used to diagnose genetically determined enzymopathies and to assess the metabolic status of corneal epithelial cells in contact lens wear. Inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes that can be used for corneal ulcer therapy are examined as well.
Anatomy and physiology of the lacrimal system; the precorneal tear film; tear protein determinations; enzymes - structure, function and classification; principles of clinical enzyme determination; lysozyme in tears; the plasminogen activator - plasmin system of the tears; metabolic enzymes in the tears; tear enzymes and enzyme inhibitors in corneal ulceration and in bacterial and fungal keratitis; tear enzymes and the wound healing of the cornea; tear enzymes in herpetic keratitis and in other viral infections of the cornea; tear enzymes in allergical and in immunological diseases of the eye; enzymes and enzyme-inhibitors in heratoconjunctivitis sicca and other ocular surface diseases; tear enzymes and contact lenses; enzymatic changes in tears in genetically determined metabolic diseases; enzymatic changes in tears in caustic injuries; enzymatic changes in tears in vitamin A deficiency; enzymes and enzyme inhibitors and the therapy of corneal inflammatory diseases.
