Abnormalities of the lipid and mucin components of the preocular tear film may result from diseases of the eyelid margins and conjunctiva. Chronic keratoconjunctivitis with epithelial edema and superficial corneal neovascularization, with or without ulceration, characterizes qualitative tear diseases. Tear components other than lipid and mucin that carry probable clinical significance include tear proteins, all-trans retinal, cholesterol, glucose, and electrolytes. Although less common than quantitative or aqueous deficiencies, qualitative abnormalities are recognized as primary or secondary causes of ocular surface disease in companion animals.
