Comparison between graticule and image capture assessment of lower tear film meniscus height
Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2006To compare graticule and image capture assessment of the lower tear film meniscus height (TMH).Lower tear film meniscus height measures were taken in the right eyes of 55 healthy subjects at two study visits separated by 6 months. Two images of the TMH were captured in each subject with a digital camera attached to a slit-lamp biomicroscope and stored ...

The Height and Radius of the Tear Meniscus and Methods for Examining These Parameters
Cornea, 2000To investigate the relationship between the radius of tear meniscus curvature (TMR) and tear meniscus height (TMH).Twenty-nine eyes of dry-eye patients (all left eyes; two males, 27 females, aged 26 to 85 years [mean +/- SD; 60 +/- 14.4]) were enrolled in the study.

Variability of the Analysis of the Tear Meniscus Height by Optical Coherence Tomography
Optometry and Vision Science, 2007ABSTRACT Purpose. Tear meniscus height (TMH) is an established parameter indicative of tear film volume and has recently been determined using an optical coherence tomographer (OCT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inter and intra observer variability in TMH assessment using OCT.

Quantitative Evaluation of Tear Meniscus Height From Fluorescein Photographs
Cornea, 2007To describe a method of quantifying the tear meniscus height (TMH) and using these values to diagnose patients with dry eye.Thirty-eight eyes of 19 healthy subjects and 14 patients diagnosed with dry eye were studied. Each eye received 2 microL of 1% fluorescein-sodium solution in the conjunctival sac, and digital photographs were taken of the external

Tear Meniscus Height, Lower Punctum Lacrimale, and the Tear Lipid Layer in Normal Aging
Optometry and Vision Science, 2006ABSTRACT Purpose. The purposes of this study are to investigate the tear meniscus height (TMH), lipid layer, and critical dimensions of the lower punctum lacrimale (DPL) in normal human subjects over a large age range; and to determine the shape and general characteristics of the lower punctum ...

Schirmer Test After Topical Anesthesia and the Tear Meniscus Height in Normal Eyes
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1979The height of the inferior tear meniscus was measured in 86 normal eyes. A value greater than 0.1 mm was obtained in 93% of the eyes that were studied. However, attempts to correlate meniscus height with subsequent Schirmer test results showed that these measurements varied randomly.

Influence of the Blink Interval on Tear Meniscus Height in Soft Contact Lens and Nonlens Wearers
Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2010Tear meniscus height (TMH) is an indirect measurement of tear film volume. This study investigated the temporal changes in the TMH during the blink interval in the morning (8-9 am) and at the end of the day (5-6 pm) in both soft contact lens (CL) and nonlens wearers (NLW).Fifty participants (25 CL; 25 NLW) were evaluated for their subjective symptoms ...
