Patients with current ocular infection, history of laser in situ keratomileusis, allergic conjunctivitis, herpetic eye disease, diabetes, and liver diseases were excluded. Other exclusion criteria were pregnant or lactating mothers, HIV, and hepatitis B and C. Patients who were allergic to fluorescein were excluded. Systemic (tetracyclines and corticosteroids) or topical medications (other than artificial tear supplements) that could affect tear production or meibomian gland functions were discontinued before intervention. However, patients were instructed not to use artificial tear preparations, 2 hours before testing. Computer work was not allowed during the course of the study as concurrent use of visual display terminals may independently influence ocular surface changes.
