Tear film break-up time in contact lens wearers.
Annals of ophthalmology, 1994The increasing number of people who wear contact lenses for longer times comfortably while achieving good vision has been attributed to advances in plastics technology. Contact lenses are now worn by any adventurous ametropic patient whose vision is capable of optical improvement.

Tear film break-up time in normal Saudi Arabian subjects
International Contact Lens Clinic, 1997Abstract The tear break-up time (BUT) test is believed to be the most popular test for diagnosis of dry eye. Dry-eye patients present a significant challenge to contact lens practitioners. The use of contact lenses, especially among young people, is increasing rapidly worldwide, including Saudi Arabia.

Effect of sodium cromoglycate on tear film break-up time.
Annals of ophthalmology, 1984Forty-one patients with an abnormal tear film break-up time entered this study. The effect, on the break-up time, of eyedrops containing 2% sodium cromoglycate was compared with placebo eyedrops. The tear film break-up time was prolonged by both treatments but the increase after sodium cromoglycate was much greater and was statistically significant ...

[Factors influencing the variability of tear film break-up time].
Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 1984Tear film break-up time was measured on 6 consecutive workdays in 6 subjects without eye disease selected at random. The reasons for the wide range of scatter in the values measured were investigated by variance component estimation. It was found that intraindividual variance is by far the most important factor influencing the overall variance of the ...

Tear film break‐up time evaluation by real‐time wavefront aberrometry in normal subjects
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2012AbstractPurpose To evaluate tear break‐up time (BUT) with repeated higher order wavefront aberrations (HOA) measurements.Methods Wavefront aberrations up to the sixth order for a 4‐mm pupil were measured in 10 subjects using the IRX3 (Imagine Eyes, Orsay, France) Hartmann‐Shack (H‐S) aberrometer.

Computational Approach for Measuring the Tear Film Break-Up Time in an Unsupervised Manner
2013Dry eye syndrome is a common disorder of the tear film, affecting a significant percentage of the population. The Break-Up Time (BUT) is a clinical test used for the diagnosis of this disease. In this research, it is proposed an automatic methodology to evaluate the BUT test.

The effect of timolol maleate on tear film break-up time in Nigerians.
African journal of medicine and medical sciences, 2009The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Timolol maleate on tear film break-up time in a Nigerian population. 192 eyes of 96 subjects were examined in a hospital based case-control study after being administered pre-coded questionnaires. The mean tear film break-up time was measured.

Alternative Reference Values for Tear Film Break up Time in Normal and Dry Eye Populations
2002Over the past decade our understanding of dry eye has greatly increased, but the number affected by the condition has also risen. It is estimated 1 of 5 Americans suffers from dry eye1 and about 7-10 million currently require artificial tear preparations to treat its symptoms.

Break-Up Analysis of the Tear Film Based on Time, Location, Size and Shape of the Rupture Area
2013The Break-Up Time test (BUT) evaluates the quality and stability of the tear film. It is used for the diagnosis of the dry eye syndrome, a common disorder of the tear film, affecting a significant percentage of the population. This work describes a fully automatic methodology to compute the time in which the break-up occurs and to analyze the rupture ...
