Diagnostic tools
Our advanced diagnostic tools play a crucial role in our treatments.
Corneal sensitivity
The corneal sensitivity test is a diagnostic test used to measure the sensitivity of the cornea. This test is often used in combination with other dry eye diagnostic tests to determine the severity of the condition and potential treatment options. The test is non-invasive and involves the use of a specialized tool to measure the patient's response to different stimuli.
Osmometer Tearlab
The tearlab osmometer is a diagnostic tool used to measure the salt content or osmolarity of tears in the eyes. A small sample of tears is taken from the lower eyelid and analyzed to determine the severity of dry eye. The test is quick, painless and highly accurate for detecting dry eye.
Inflammadry MMP9
Inflammadry MMP9 is a diagnostic test that detects elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in tears. This enzyme is associated with eye inflammation and is a key indicator for diagnosing dry eye. The test is non-invasive and can provide results in just a few minutes.
Omegaquant
Omegaquant is a diagnostic test used to measure levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body. These fatty acids are essential for maintaining good vision and reducing eye inflammation. The test requires a small blood sample and can provide valuable information on the patient's overall health and potential risk of developing dry eyes.
Imaging
Anterior Segment Imaging and Videography is a diagnostic test that captures high-resolution images and videos of the anterior segment of the eye. This includes the cornea, iris and lens. The test can help detect a variety of eye conditions, including dry eye, and provides valuable information about eye health and potential treatment options.
