The 6th International Conference on the Tear Film & Ocular Surface: Basic Science and Clinical Relevance.

This Conference is designed to:

Assess critically the current knowledge and 'state of the art' research on the structure and function of tear film-producing tissues, tears and the ocular surface in both health and disease

Promote an international exchange of information that will be of value to basic scientists involved in eye research, to clinicians in the eye care community, and to pharmaceutical companies with an interest in the treatment of tear film or ocular surface disorders

Firenze Fiera, Florence, Italy, 22-25 September 2010
