Dry Eye: Drying times

Mike Hale presents some of the devices available to practitioners in the UK for diagnosis and treatment of dry eye

Mainline says the Huvitz HDA-100 features 16 different measurements and tests to diagnose dry eye disease. The device is said to give quick and easy analysis of the tear film to help understand and investigate tear composition with all layers able to be analysed (lipid, aqueous, mucin) as well as the upper and lower meibomian glands when identifying dry eye disease. According to Mainline, this gives optometrists a better view of how to treat the type of deficiency with specific dry eye treatments such as QMR or eye drops. The device has five megapixel image resolution, single and multi-shot video capabilities as well as two cones (main and placid) for different tests, such as interferometry and tear meniscus.
