Device typeTearscope: A mains electricity (AC-powered) hand-held or slit-lamp mounted device used to non-invasively assess a patient's tear film quantity, quality, and stability during a single, whole-eye view. The patient's eye is brought into contact with the viewing part of the device and using various methods (e.g., matching the patient's tear film with known patterns, studying the shape of the tear meniscus, viewing the tear film flow dynamics) the ophthalmologist can assess the tear break-up time (TBUT). This may help differentiate a normal and abnormal tear film when fitting contact lenses or when assessing patients with dry eye problems.
