Evaluation of Dry Eye Syndrome Induced by Urban Particulate Matter Using Aerosol Exposure System

Dry eye syndrome (DES) is caused by multi‐factors and it is featured as tear deficiency and eye irritation. Air pollutions, represented as particulate matter (PM), are emerging threat of human health which induce various diseases including DES. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of DES via PM exposure are not completely identified. Though, several in vivo models of PM induced DES have been suggested, these were not properly reflect the phenomena...
