Is Orbital Lobe of the Lacrimal Gland Dispensable? Tear Volume, Ocular Surface, and MRI Volumetric Analysis
Partial or complete removal of the orbital lobe of the lacrimal gland does not induce dry eye disease in otherwise healthy individuals. However, gland volume does not recover following partial reduction, and it seems unlikely that the lacrimal gland regenerates following partial removal.
