symptoms
Non-Invasive Break Up Time (NIBUT)
• Procedure
− Keratometer or Xeroscope

• Procedure
− Tearscope
− SL mounted or hand held
Tearscope
• Measurement of NIBUT
− Mag > or = 20x
− SL illumination off
− Placed in front of observation system
− Focus on Pre-Ocular Tear Film (POTF)
− Focus on Pre-Lens Tear Film
Tearscope
• Measurement of NIBUT

• Photo Comparison
Tear Film Patterns Lipid Coverage

− Abnormal < 9mm
Tear Film Osmolarity
• TDDE
