Hydrophobic Silicon Quantum Dots for Potential Imaging of Tear Film Lipid Layer

Hydrophobic Silicon Quantum Dots for Potential Imaging of Tear Film Lipid Layer

The tear film, consisting of the aqueous and lipid layers, maintains the homeostasis of the ocular surface; therefore, when disturbed, it can cause dry eye, which affects millions of people worldwide. Understanding the dynamics of the tear film layers is essential for developing efficient drug deliv...
