- Abstract
The article offers information on a study that deals with the role of diagnostic micro-osmometer in quantifying osmolarity of the tear film and guide dry eye therapy. The study aimed to quantify tear film and analyze the course of dry eye therapy. The film was obtained from the inferior lateral meniscus of 10 patients with dry eye disease. Included in the study were 20 patients funded by Alcon Laboratories. It demonstrates how the hand-held micro-osmometer could lead to easy in-office osmolarity analysis.
