Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anatomy
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • The lacrimal gland's role in ocular health is multifaceted.
  • Its dysfunction is linked to systemic conditions and dry eye disease (keratitis sicca).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current literature on lacrimal gland pathology.
  • To highlight diagnostic imaging modalities and surgical interventions for lacrimal system disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on lacrimal gland and sac.
  • Analysis of research on imaging techniques (ultrasonography, CT, MRI).
  • Examination of surgical approaches like dacryocystorhinostomy.

Main Results:

  • Established connections between keratitis sicca and systemic diseases.
