Carolyn G. Begley studies the tear film that coats the surface of the eye, focusing on how and why it breaks up (a process linked to dry eye and ocular surface health). Much of the work combines clinical eye imaging with mathematical and computational models to explain the mechanisms behind tear film thinning and breakup, including the role of the oily lipid layer produced by glands in the eyelids.
