Measuring Extent of Dry Eye for Enhanced Diagnosis & Treatment

Posted by Eye Doctors of Washington in Eye Conditions, General Eye Care

As noted in our recent blog post, our team of eye doctors is now certified by TearLab™ Corporation as an Accredited Dry Eye Center. This means we are dedicated to providing superior diagnosis and treatment of dry eye syndrome, while utilizing the latest techniques and treatment options available.

The TearLab™ Osmolarity System is an effective treatment process used by our team of ophthalmologists that entails taking a small sample of the patient’s tears to measure the level of dryness. The system is the first test of its kind to measure dry eye conditions for improved diagnosis and management. By taking a small amount of a patient’s tear fluid, our team can evaluate osmolarity data provided by TearLab™. This helps patients understand the severity of their problem, while also allowing our eye doctors to determine the best form of treatment.
