Facile Determination of Sodium Ion and Osmolarity in Artificial Tears by Sequential DNAzymes

Sensors, 2017
Despite high relevance of tear osmolarity and eye abnormality, numerous methods for detecting tear osmolarity rely upon expensive osmometers. We report a reliable method for simply determining sodium ion-based osmolarity in artificial tears using ...

Tear Osmolarity and Tear Film Parameters in Patients With Unilateral Pterygium

Cornea, 2014
The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in tear osmolarity and tear film parameters between pterygium-affected and healthy fellow eyes.The study enrolled 65 patients with unilateral pterygium. Tear osmolarity, tear film break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer I test measurements, fluorescein corneal staining, and conjunctival redness were ...

Barriers to clinical uptake of tear osmolarity measurements

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011
The aim of the study was to examine the possibilities of measuring tear osmolarity in a general clinical setting, and to identify the barriers preventing the uptake of new methodologies for its measurement.Five non-contact-lens wearers were recruited to evaluate the diagnostic capability of the TearLab. Three osmolarity measurements were taken at 1 min

Tear osmolarity in Sjögren syndrome. [PDF]

Cornea, 2013
The Schirmer test is one of the 2 ocular surface tests included in the current classification criteria for Sjögren syndrome (SS). Tear osmolarity may also be a useful test for the diagnosis of dry eye disease. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between tear osmolarity, the Schirmer test I, and dry eye symptoms in SS.Patients with

Comment on "The Effects of Hemodialysis on Tear Osmolarity". [PDF]

J Ophthalmol, 2016
We congratulate Taskapili et al. for their study entitled “The Effects of Hemodialysis on Tear Osmolarity” [1]. The authors investigated the effects of hemodialysis (HD) on tear osmolarity (TO) and evaluated the correlation between blood biochemical tests and TO in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD).
