Abstract

The detection of tear film-related pathology of the ocular surface during routine clinical eye examination, especially in early cases, is not always straightforward. Therefore a number of specific tests such as Schirmer test, fluorescein and rose bengal staining, etc. are usually added to the examination.1–4 The addition of these specific tests is time consuming, and they are often neglected by the general ophthalmologist. In consequence, the diagnosis of tear film disorders by the general ophthalmologist is not as frequent as it could be.
