Validation of a new objective method to assess lipid layer thickness without the need of an interferometer. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to develop and validate new metrics to objectively assess the lipid layer thickness (LLT) through the analysis of grey intensity values obtained from the Placido disk pattern reflected onto the tear film.

In vivo thickness measurement of the lipid layer and the overall tear film by interferometry [PDF]
New approaches for the simultaneous measurement of the thickness of the lipid layer (LL) and overall tear film (TF) in vivo are needed. In the current research, the interference signal from the ocular surface was analyzed and simplified as the superposition of two sinusoidal functions.

Determination of Tear Lipid Film Thickness Based on a Reflected Placido Disk Tear Film Analyzer
This study aims at determining the thickness of the tear lipid layer (LL) observed from a placido-disc-based tear film analyzer. We prospectively collected reflections of placido-disk LL images using a tear film analyzer (Keratograph® 5M, Oculus) from ...
