Optimising the methodology for assessing tear meniscus height using digital imaging [PDF]
To determine the optimum method for assessing tear meniscus height using digital imaging.The tear meniscus of 38 participants (mean age 32.5 ± 10.6 years, 45 % male) was video recorded three times, each for a period of five seconds following two natural blinks using the Oculus Keratograph 5M, first with infrared and subsequently with visible (white ...

Automated inferior tear meniscus height measurement in a sequence of video
Video analysis of the dynamics of the tear meniscus height (TMH) have been used in the diagnosis of dry eye. However, the existing techniques require substantial manual intervention. This research work aims to automate the process of estimating the change in the inferior TMH without manual intervention.
