Schirmer test values and the outcome of photorefractive keratectomy
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 1996To evaluate whether relative tear deficiency, indicated by low standardized Schirmer test values, influences the outcome of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).Department of Ophthalmology, University of Heisinki, Finland.Sixty-two patients were pair-matched by age and attempted myopic correction.

Influence of eye position on the Schirmer tear test
Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2014The Schirmer test (ST) evaluates the volume of tears in potential dry eye candidates via a strip placed in the lower tear lake. Previously reported inconsistencies in the results may be in part due to the lack of standardization as to the methodology, e.g. the eye position during the test.

Effect of meibomian oils on Schirmer tear test
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1985Abstract. The detrimental effect of meibomian oils expressed onto the lid margins on the value of the Schirmer test was investigated in two studies (N=12 per study): without and with topical anaesthesia. In the 12 subjects studied there was no evidence of external ocular disease.

Schirmer Test of Lacrimation: Its Clinical Importance
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1975Lacrimation was tested by a modified Schrimer test, ie, by the soaking of strips of filter paper hooked into th lower conjunctival sac. The test is advocated for the topical diagnosis of facial-nerve lesions. Lacrimation was found to be independent of age and sex. There were, however, large inter- and intra-subject variations.

Schirmer's test of lacrimation.
American family physician, 1981Schirmer's test is a simple, semiquantitative test of tear production. It is based on the physical tendency of a fluid to travel along a strip of porous material by capillary action due to surface tension. Sterile strips, standardized and prepackaged, are available from local scientific supply houses.

A quantitative test for xerostomia. The saxon test, an oral equivalent of the schirmer test
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1985AbstractWe describe a simple, reproducible, and low‐cost test for xerostomia, which involves chewing on a folded sterile sponge for 2 minutes. Saliva production is quantitated by weighing the sponge before and after chewing. Normal control subjects produced ≤ 2.75 gm of saliva in 2 minutes.

Evaluation of the Schirmer tear test.
Canadian journal of ophthalmology. Journal canadien d'ophtalmologie, 1980We used the Schirmer filter paper test to measure tear production in 10 healthy women after instillation of local anesthetic drops at the same time of day for 30 or 31 consecutive days. We found that it was not a reliable indicator of tear production. The results varied widely even on the same subjects many of whom would, according to the standards for

Evaluation of Schirmer Tests by Two Types of Tear Clearance Tests
1998Evaluation of the tear volume measurements is an indispensable part of the examination for the diagnosis of dry eye.1 The Schirmer I test is the most general tear volume measurement in the clinic, but this test has many modifications and interpretations and may not have enough sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of dry eye and ...
