Patients with severe dry eye or any other condition that induces ocular inflammation were excluded. The sample was divided into two groups according to the tear osmolarity cut\u2010off value of 308\u2003mOsmol\u2003L\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      measured in the right eye of each patient. Impression cytology of the temporal interpalpebral conjunctiva was performed and goblet cell density, nucleus diameter, cytoplasm diameter and nucleus\/cytoplasm ratio of epithelial cells quantitatively assessed. A battery of tear tests (ferning test, tear break\u2010up time and Schirmer I test) was also carried out in order to more completely describe the groups and understand the process. Analysis of variance (\n                      <jats:sc>anova<\/jats:sc>\n                      ) was applied to establish cytological and tear differences between hyperosmolar and normal tear osmolarity eyes. Pearson\u2019s correlation was calculated between the cytological variables and tear osmolarity.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                      The normal tear osmolarity group included patients with symptoms of dry eye, grade 1\u20132 of squamous metaplasia, and a number of positive tear signs of dry eye ranging between 0 and 3. The hyperosmolar tear group included patients with symptoms of dry eye, grade 1\u20132 of squamous metaplasia with significantly lower values of nucleus diameter (\n                      <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>1,66<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u2003=\u20034.3,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2003=\u20030.040), and a number of positive tear signs of dry eye ranging between 1 (hyperosmolar tear) and 4. Mean reflex secretion of tears was clearly normal in both groups but significantly lower (\n                      <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sub>1,66<\/jats:sub>\n                      \u2003=\u20037.2,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2003=\u20030.009) in the hyperosmolar tear group.

The relationship between tear osmolarity and conjunctival cell characteristics seems to be linear only in the normal tear osmolarity group. These results also provide a plausible link between lower reflex secretion of tears and hyperosmolarity.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
