Enhanced Tearing by Electrical Stimulation of the Anterior Ethmoid Nerve

PURPOSE: Electrical neurostimulation enhances tear secretion, and can be applied to treatment of dry eye disease. Using a chronic implant, we evaluate the effects of stimulating the anterior ethmoid nerve on the aqueous, lipid, and protein content of secreted tears. METHODS: Neurostimulators were im...
