Tear meniscus volume in dry eye after punctal occlusion.
Purpose. To use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to evaluate the effect of punctal occlusion on tear meniscus volume in dry eye patients. Methods. Occlusion of both upper and lower puncta with collagen plugs was performed on one eye each in 20 dry eye patients and 20 normal subjects. The upper and lower tear menisci were imaged simultaneously by real-time OCT before punctal occlusion and on d...
متن کاملRelation of accommodative microfluctuation with dry eye symptoms in short tear break-up time dry eye
PURPOSE To investigate accommodative microfluctuations (AMFs) and visual function in short tear break-up time (BUT)-type dry eye (DE) and non-DE subjects. METHODS This prospective comparative study included 48 volunteers with DE symptoms (mean age 34.8 ± 5.5 years, age range 25-42 years) and 73 without DE symptoms (mean age 30.6 ± 4.7 years, age range 25-42 years). The eyes were divided into ...
متن کاملTear osmolarity and dry eye symptoms in diabetics
PURPOSE To assess the relationship between tear osmolarity and dry eye symptoms in patients with diabetes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty patients with diabetes were enrolled. Demographic information and past medical history were recorded. Symptoms were assessed using the ocular surface disease index (OSDI). Tear osmolarity of each eye was measured with the TearLab® Osmolarity System. RESULTS T...
متن کاملHuman Tear Serotonin Levels Correlate with Symptoms and Signs of Dry Eye.
PURPOSE Serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to be involved in nociceptor sensitization, is present in human tears. The purpose of this study was to correlate tear serotonin levels, as a marker of nociceptor sensitization, to facets of dry eye (DE), including symptoms and signs. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 62 patients with normal eyelid and corneal anatomy were pros...
متن کاملLower volumes of tear menisci in contact lens wearers with dry eye symptoms.
PURPOSE To investigate tear meniscus volumes during short-term lens wear by soft contact lens (SCL) wearers with dryness symptoms. METHODS Three groups of 20 subjects were recruited. Group 1 consisted of SCL wearers with self-reported dryness. Group 2 consisted of asymptomatic wearers. Group 3 was composed of asymptomatic non-lens wearers. Contact lenses were fitted on each eye, and both uppe...
