The Influence of Age and Sex on Ocular Surface Microbiota in Healthy Adults

1 Dec 2017

Abstract excerpt

Purpose: A growing body of evidence suggests that the microbiome of the ocular surface confers potent immunoregulatory functions and has a key role in the physiologic maintenance of healthy eyes and in the pathogenesis of ocular diseases. Although the microbiome is known to be affected by age and sex, the influence of these factors on ocular surface microbiota in healthy adults remains largely unknown. Methods:...
