The Relationship Between Tear Ferning Patterns and Non-invasive Tear Break-up Time in Normal Asian Population
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between tear ferning patterns (TFP) and non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT) in normal Asian subjects. METHODS One hundred and forty-five adults with no ocular surface disorders were recruited. TFP and NIBUT were determined. Tears were collected using a capillary tube and allowed to air dry at room temperature for 10min. TFP was later observed using ...

متن کاملReflective meniscometry: a non-invasive method to measure tear meniscus curvature.
AIMS To devise a method to measure tear meniscus curvature by a non-invasive specular technique. METHODS A photographic system was devised. The system consisted of a camera and an illuminated target with a series of black and white stripes oriented parallel to the axis of the lower tear meniscus. The target was mounted on a flash gun close to the objective of a Brown macrocamera and calibrate...
