Clinical assessment of the lower tear meniscus height

Abstract: Careful instillation of fluorescein does not affect normal TMH values. Fluorescein is washed out from the lower tear meniscus 5 min after instillation. Higher values of the TMH can be found at nasal and temporal locations compared to the center of the lower eye lid.

“…However, we used the corneal wavefront guided ablation profiles, which have the same origins (topographic measurement) as topography-guided treatments but base upon the optical effects of the topography of the cornea instead of the elevation values of the cornea. We have reported refractive stability and optical benefits using the wavefront guided profiles in normal refractive procedures 19 and therapeutic procedures13, 26 in the past. Furthermore, the calculation of corneal asphericity as a 3-D fit renders more accurate results when it is based on the corneal wavefront aberrations rather than on the corneal topography of the principal meridians 27 .…”

“…All the patients were treated with corneal wavefront-guided ablation profiles 18 calculated using the ORK-CAM software module 19 (SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions). A defined epithelial thickness profile 20 (55 μm in the centre and 65 μm at 4 mm radial distance) was ablated without using any masking fluid.…”

“…The TM was measured according to defined criteria 19,34 in its central portion (at 6 o'clock) as the distance between the darker edge of the lower eyelid and the upper limit of the TM using ImageJ. The TMH was marked using the straight tool, which allows the user to draw a line (Fig.…”
