Non-invasive Tear Film Dynamic Measurements in Normal, MGD and ADDE Subjects After Saline Instillation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye, Meibomium Gland Dysfunction

In brief

Compare the objective tear film dynamic measurements in three different populations (MGD \[Meibomium Gland Dysfunction\], ADDE \[Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye\] and normal/control \[non-dry eye\]) and the subjective experience before and after instilling a single drop of saline in each eye. Currently available office-based tests for dry eye do not reliably correlate with patients' subjective symptoms. This study is interested in assessing how individuals with these two different ocular surface diseases compare with the normal population when measured objectively using two different instruments.
