| Summary: | Background: Dry eye disease (DED) stands as a prominent ocular condition of global prevalence, emerging as a growing concern within public health. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis remain largely unknown. In recent years, with the development of metabolomics, numerous studies have reported alterations in ocular surface metabolism in DED and offered fresh perspectives on the development of DED. Main text: The metabolic changes of the ocular surface of DED patients are closely intertwined with the cellular metabolism process and immune inflammation changes. This article expounds upon the correlation between ocular surface metabolism and immune inflammation alterations in DED in terms of glycolysis, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, cellular signaling pathways, and immune inflammation regulation. Conclusions: The alterations in ocular surface metabolism of patients with dry eye are closely associated with their inflammatory status. Our work contributes novel insights into the pathogenesis of dry eye diseases and offers innovative molecular targets for diagnosing, detecting, and managing DED patients. |
