Evaluating the diagnostic ability of two automated non-invasive tear film stability measurement techniques

Dry eye disease is among the most common ophthalmic conditions encountered in clinical practice,[1] affecting between 5% to 50% of the adult population in different regions of the world.[2] The condition is characterised by the loss of ocular surface homeostasis, which induces a self-perpetuating cycle of inflammatory cascades, tear hyperosmolarity, and tear film instability.[3,4] The resulting symptoms of ocular dryness and irritation are recognised to have significant impacts on quality of life, vision, and work productivity.[5 –9]
