Comparison of Thread Test of Lacrimation to Schirmer Test

The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology Supplement, 1986
A modified Schirmer test using thread instead of filter paper has been previously reported. The present report compares the characteristics of thread and filter paper and establishes the normal range for the tear flow rate. The moisture absorption by a 5-mm wide strip of filter paper was 0.765 μL/mm and that by a thread was 0.054 μL/mm.

Schirmer's Test

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1983
In 50 normal subjects, results of kinetics studies of Schirmer's test demonstrated nonlinear wetting with an initial rapid phase of wetting followed by a progressive reduction in rate. This initial rapid phase of wetting indicated a reflex secretion of tears.

Schirmer Test. I. A Review

Optometry and Vision Science, 1993
ABSTRACT Since its introduction by Schirmer in 1903, the Schirmer test has been widely used for the assessment of the adequacy of tear production. Although the faults of the Schirmer test have been well documented, it is nevertheless still being used to assess tear production, especially in the diagnosis of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (

One-Minute Schirmer Test With Anesthesia

Cornea, 2003
The 5-minute Schirmer test is a commonly described test for dry eye syndrome but is impractical for most ophthalmologists to perform routinely because of the 5-minute time frame. Hence, we decided to evaluate the intraindividual reliability of different wetting times of the Schirmer basal tear secretion test correlated to that of the standard 5-minute ...

A Review of the Schirmer Test for Tear Production

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1962
Schirmer, in his original report1on lacrimation, used blotting paper to collect tears elicited by one of the following 3 methods of stimulating lacrimation: (1) inserting the strip of paper itself; (2) irritating the nasal mucosa after the cornea had been anesthetized, and (3) having the patient look into the sun. After considerable study he decided to

Inconsistency in Schirmer Tear Test Strips

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1985
To the Editor. —We would like to describe an inconsistency in the Schirmer tear test strips (Cooper Vision Pharmaceuticals, Inc, lot F7102A, expiration date: 2/87) being used at our hospital. Our initial observations were made while we used the strips to collect tears for immunologic analysis.

Schirmer testing for dry eyes in patients with rosacea

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1992
Dry eyes have been reported in a significantly greater number of patients with ocular rosacea than in control subjects.Our purpose was to assess the incidence of dry eyes in patients with cutaneous rosacea and to compare this with a control population.With the use of the Schirmer test without anesthesia, the amount of aqueous tear secretion of 32 ...

The Effect of Unilateral Corneal Anesthesia on the Schirmer Test

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1989
Unilateral corneal anesthesia (or hypesthesla) caused by trigeminal nerve disease has an unknown effect on the Schirmer test. Using topical anesthesia, we found that unilateral corneal anesthesia reduces tearing bilaterally, with a greater decrease on the anesthetized side.
