Texas – A research group at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, did a study on oral administration of a commercially available probiotic bacterial strain and found it improved dry eye disease in an animal model. The findings was presented at ASM Microbe 2023, the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. According to Medical Xpress, 1 in 20 Americans suffers from dry eye, a common condition in which the tears produced by the eye are insufficient to adequately lubricate the eye. It may result in inflammation, eye stinging and burning, vision blurring, and light sensitivity.
