Precorneal residence time (RT) was measured directly in 16 mild to moderate dry eye subjects, classified by sub\u2010type, in a six\u2010way cross\u2010over, masked and randomized study. FITC\u2010dextran tracer decay with a scanning fluorometer was used to estimate the gross RT (i.e., the time in minutes for the signal to return to baseline).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All subjects were classified as having non\u2010inflammatory meibomian gland dysfunction except one, who had a mixture of aqueous deficiency and meibomian gland dysfunction. In two separate determinations, the saline RTs were 19.1 \u00b1 7.4 and 17.6 \u00b1 8.2 min. The RTs for the formulations varied to some degree by viscosity, with two higher viscosity formulations demonstrating the longest RTs of 36 to 41 min, approximately twice that of saline (p &lt; 0.001 for both 0.4% polyethylene glycol\/0.3% propylene glycol, and 1.0% carboxymethylcellulose). An oil emulsion, low viscosity carboxymethylcellulose and moderate viscosity hydroxypropylmethylcellulose\u2010containing formulation were not statistically different from saline (RTs of 18, 22 and 24 min, p values = 0.983, 0.818 and 0.099, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>More than two\u2010fold RT differences were found for the higher viscosity, more muco\u2010adhesive formulations compared to saline. However, other formulations provided RTs close to saline, suggesting that RT is influenced by factors other than simple viscosity. Future studies should examine the interplay of spreading characteristics, pseudoplasticity and muco\u2010adhesion relative to RT to determine the individual and cumulative effects on formulation retention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/opx.0b013e3181824de3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,28]],"date-time":"2008-07-28T03:07:22Z","timestamp":1217214442000},"page":"725-731","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Precorneal Residence Time of Artificial Tears Measured in Dry Eye Subjects"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"Jerry R.","family":"Paugh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Southern California College of Optometry Fullerton California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew Loc","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"California State University Fullerton California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Howard A.","family":"Ketelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alcon Research Ft.
