Abstract

This study aimed to determine the utility of the tear function index (Liverpool modification TFI) in assessing tear turnover rate (TTR), evaluate association of tear clearance rate (TCR) and TFI with measurements of TTR by fluorophotometry, and determine effectivity of these test measures in dry eye (DE) diagnosis. Forty-one subjects with DE and 15 control subjects participated. Tests included symptoms, fluorophotometry (by automated scanning fluorophotometry), and TCR and TFI from a prepared Liverpool modification TFI strip.
