It includes pancreatic amylase, lipase, and proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes, Wearers of contact lenses sometimes use pancre- atin solutions, marketed as "enzyme cleaners," to clean their lenses. Contact lenses float on the tear fluid over the cornea. Over time, components of tear fluid build up on contact lenses. Tear fluid tends to form three layers, as shown in figure 34.4. The top layer is mostly lipids from skin oil (sebum) and other sources. The middle layer is an aqueous solution of salts, proteins, and other substances. The bottom layer is mainly composed of mucin, which in turn is composed of combined polysaccharide-protein molecules called glycoproteins.
