The ocular surface system is a new concept that views the corneal and conjunctival epithelia and the tear film as a functionally continuous unit. Through the blinking of eyelids, tear moisture, nutrients, mucins, and lipids form a thin film over the conjunctival and corneal epithelia. The ocular surface system is essential for ocular surface homeostasis. Although differences in tear components among dogs, cats and humans are not largely understood,
