International reporting guidelines for tear fluid research: A Delphi consensus
The TEAR-reporting guidelines (TEAR-RG) represent a significant step toward standardizing research practices in tear fluid studies. By addressing key methodological and reporting issues, these guidelines aim to improve the reproducibility and transparency of research in this rapidly evolving field. This work underscores the importance of standardized frameworks for advancing biomarker discovery and clinical applications in tear fluid research.
