Abstract
Mucins comprise a family of highly glycosylated, high-molecular-weight glycoproteins. Ocular surface mucins are the major component of the tear film. They play important role in maintaining the ocular surface health. The alterations in the structure and expression pattern of mucins are related to the pathophysiology process of many ocular surface diseases. This paper reviewed recent researches on ocular surface related mucins that would provide bases to exploring the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic tragedies of ocular surface diseases.
