Second TearView clinical research study accepted for publication in Cornea.
In this landmark study, the two dry eye experts Professor Coroneo, Dr Kokkinakis and co-workers show that TearView videos of the tear film can easily detect an abnormal tear film and the extend of the abnormality can be graded. This grading correlates with other tear film parameters like tear film break-up time and tear volume.

In this study it is shown with the help of TearView that skin-lipids that penetrate across the lid margin may be causative for dry eye symptoms. It is also shown here that TearView may be used to study meibomian lipid release in real time.

Mk3 TearView development and clinical testing is completed and signed off for production. Key enhancements are higher frame rate and resolution from next-gen sensor array and image processor, new lens system providing improved image quality across complete eye surface, and Mk3 software with upgraded clinical capability.
