Dry Eye Exams

Dry eye exams are problem focused visits that consist of an array of tests including:

Dry Eye Consultations & Advanced Testing in Paoli

Schirmers Test

Measures tear production to rule out aqueous deficiency

Meibography

Captures an image of the meibomian glands surrounding the lids in order to evaluate for segmentation, thickening and atrophy.

NaFL Staining

Fluorescein staining is used to evaluate your tear break up time and evaluates for corneal cell damage.

Epithelial Mapping

This advanced diagnostic OCT technology maps out the integrity of the corneal epithelium in order to monitor change over time and is useful for grading the severity of dry eye.
