Abstract
AIM – To assess the tear film stability and the tear drainage in dysfunctional uterine bleeding women. MATERIALS AND METHODS : A randomised study of 50 women of fertile age and with irregular menstrual cycles for a period of 1 year were enrolled in this study. Tear production was evaluated with Schirmer I and II test, tear stability with tear breakup time, tear film meniscus, ocular surface stained with lissamine green and Meibomian gland count assessed. Tear drainage was assessed using Jones dye test. The data values of Schirmer's test 1 and 2 , TBUT and Jo RESULTS : nes dye test were found to be normal in all the patients. As the patients were tested randomly in different phases of their disrupted cycles, the differences in their tear film stability and production could not be commented. The fin CONCLUSION: dings of our study show that Meibomian glands exhibit a cyclic change in normal menstrual cycle whereas in irregular menstrual cycles, no changes were found in tear film production and drainage as women were in their different phases of irregular menstrual cycle
