Abstract

Most of the patients in our daily practice have one or more ocular surface disorders including conjunctivitis, keratitis, dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, contact lens related symptoms, refractive errors, computer vision syndrome. Lacrimal gland has an important role in all above mentioned pathologies due to its major secretory product. An anatomical and physiological knowledge about lacrimal gland is a must in understanding basic and common ophthalmological cases. İn this paper it is aimed to explain the lacrimal gland diseases from an anatomical perspective.
