Dry Eyes Diagnosis

At Shree Ramkrishna Netralaya’s Dry Eyes Clinic, the diagnosis of Dry Eye Disease begins with a detailed patient history and a comprehensive eye exam tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Our specialists utilize advanced diagnostic tests to assess tear production, tear film stability, and the overall health of the ocular surface.

Tear Film Breakup Time (TBUT)

This test measures the time it takes for dry spots to appear on the eye's surface after blinking, helping to assess tear film stability.

Schirmer Test

Used to quantify tear production, this test involves placing a small strip of paper under the lower eyelid to measure moisture.

Meibography

This imaging test examines the meibomian glands, which play a crucial role in tear film production and are often implicated in Dry Eye Disease.

Ocular Surface Staining

Dyes are used to detect damage to the surface of the eye and to highlight areas where the tear film is breaking up.

These tests provide a comprehensive understanding of your eye's condition, allowing our specialists to recommend the most effective treatment.

Diagnostic Technologies for Dry Eye Syndrome Treatment

Digital Tear Mapping

Offers precise analysis of tear production and distribution, crucial for identifying the extent of eye dryness.

Ocular Surface Analyzer

Evaluates the condition of the eye surface and the quality of the tear film, providing insights into the underlying causes of Dry Eye Disease.
