Abstract
Lymphocytic infiltration of the lacrimal gland decreases the gland’s ability to produce the fluid needed to keep the ocular surface healthy and comfortable. This immune-related lacrimal insufficiency is responsible for some severe forms of dry eye. Increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines in a dysfunctional lacrimal gland may suppress the inflammatory process and restore secretory function.
