Abstract: Dry eye is a troubling and widespread condition affecting between 5 and 35% of humans globally [1,2] and between 0.5 and 35% of dogs [3]. Topical cyclosporine or tacrolimus, used as lacrimogenic agents, have improved the treatment of dry eye in people and animals substantially [3,4] but topical tear improvement and replacement still plays an important role in the alleviation of the pathological changes and ocular signs and symptoms seen in cases of dry eye.
