This is a study on neurological dry eye disease, focusing on a patented over-the-counter supplement supporting tear production neurologically, including the lacrimal and vagus nerves.
Chronic inflammation is implicated in the majority of chronic dry eyes. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for both basal tear secretion (the aqueous layer) by the lacrimal functional unit, and is responsible for controlling many aspects of chronic inflammation via the vagus nerve. This study will document its effects on dry eyes, in addition to other symptoms/signs of low parasympathetic nervous system functioning using an over-the-counter supplement.
