* Fluorescein tear film break-up time (FBUT) ≤ 5 seconds.
* Willing and able to actively cooperate with the prescribed course of standard dry eye medications and ocular surface microbiota transplantation therapy for the study duration.
* Voluntarily agrees to participate and signs the informed consent form.
* Healthy Donor Group:

* A family member of a participating subject.
* Aged 18 to 50 years.

Exclusion Criteria

* Dry Eye Patient Group:

* History of systemic chronic diseases (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders).
* Current or past history of eyelid abnormalities, conjunctival disease, or lacrimal duct obstruction.
* History of any ocular surgery or regular wear of corneal contact lenses.
* Active infection in the eye(s) or any other part of the body.
* History of multiple episodes of viral keratitis or presence of significant neurotrophic keratitis.
* Any other condition deemed by the investigator to be unsuitable for participation.
* Healthy Donor Group:
