“…published a new method, ocular surface thermography, used to measure NIBUT. The mean NIBUT measured by that method was 4.5±0.9 s and 2.1±1.1 s in normal and dry eye subjects, respectively ( 33 ). Data on this method are limited to a single study.…”

SUMMARY The aim was to determine feasibility and reliability of noninvasive tear break-up time (NIBUT) assessment using handheld lipid layer examination instrument, and to compare it with standard tear break-up time (TBUT) test. Fifty patients were enrolled, 31 with and 19 without dry eye symptoms. Schein questionnaire was used to assess dry eye symptoms. During examination, three NIBUT measurements were performed on each eye using handheld instrument, followed by three TBUT measurements. Receiver operating characteristic curves, sensitivity, specificity and logistic regression analysis were generated. Median NIBUT values were significantly shorter in dry eye symptom group than in control group in all three measurements (9, 8 and 8 s vs . 21, 22 and 21 s; p<0.001). TBUT values showed no significant difference between the groups in the first measurement (p=0.053), but the values were significantly shorter in dry eye symptom group in second and third measurements (p=0.020). The cutoff value to distinguish patients with symptoms of dry eye from control group was 12 seconds for NIBUT and 8 seconds for TBUT, with NIBUT having significantly higher sensitivity, specificity, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and positive predictive value. NIBUT, measured by handheld lipid layer examination instrument, was superior to TBUT in detecting dry eye.

“…Современные приборы позволяют быстро, точно и качественно измерять температуру глазной поверхности. В одном из исследований предприняты попытки использовать термографию в качестве метода определения этиологии ССГ: наиболее низкая температура глазной поверхности и наиболее высокие показатели ее охлаждения регистрировали при ССГ, вызванном недостаточной слезопродукцией, в то время как при повышенном испарении слезной пленки показатели были значительно ниже по обоим параметрам [29,31]. Проведены сравнительные исследования результатов термографии и инвазивной оценки стабильности слезной пленки.…”

По результатам проведения Международного симпозиума по cиндрому «cухого глаза» (The 2007 International Dry Eye WorkShop, DEWS) при поддержке Общества специалистов по изучению слезной пленки и глазной поверхности (The Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society, TFOS) в 2007 г. принято решение об официальном введении термина «си-стема глазной поверхности» («Ocular Surface System») в медицинскую номенклатуру. Система глазной поверхности представляет собой непрерывный слой эпителия, покрывающего глазную поверхность (т.е. эпителий роговицы и конъюнктивы) вместе с эпителием ацинусов главной и добавочных слезных желез, мейбомиевых желез и слезных канальцев.
