This is a study on neurological dry eye disease, focusing on a patented over-the-countersupplement supporting tear production neurologically, including the lacrimal and vagusnerves.
Chronic inflammation is implicated in the majority of chronic dry eyes. The
parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for both basal tear secretion (the aqueous
layer) by the lacrimal functional unit, and is responsible for controlling many aspects
of chronic inflammation via the vagus nerve.
This study will document its effects on dry eyes, in addition to other symptoms/signs of
low parasympathetic nervous system functioning using an over-the-counter supplement.
