Study Summary

This is a prospective, observational case series to determine the clinical utility of tear osmolarity and other commonly used objective tests to diagnose dry eye disease, as well as to establish referent values for objective tests of the disease.

Primary Outcome

Tear osmolarity was measured with a laboratory-on-a-chip, to simultaneously collect and analyze the electrical impedance of a 50 nL tear sample from the interior lateral meniscus (TearLab Osmolarity System). A cutoff threshold of more than 308 mOsm/L was used for differentiating normal from mild to moderate subjects. The clinical tools most commonly used in grading dry eye severity are symptomatology (e.g. questionnaires such as the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) or McMonnies Dry Eye Quest
