✦ Synopsis

This minireview deals with the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in human tear fluid. It explains the occurrence of EGF in tear fluid, the origin of EGF and its dependency on tear fluid dynamics. The alterations in tear fluid EGF concentrations that occur during diseases of the ocular surface are described and discussed in the context of the current knowledge about the interaction between EGF and EGF receptors. The possible clinical implications of topical treatment with EGF are considered.
