Abstract :
To compare the Schirmer’s I test values and
test time duration under two different (Dim and light)
illumination and Correlation of test time duration with
Schirmer’s I value and level of illumination.
Method: 52 eyes in 26 patients, male (9) and female (17),
age ranging between 18 to 20 years and free from ocular
and systemic disease, were recruited for the research.
The study was conducted in a controlled room, where
temperature and humidity was constant. Illumination
was measured using lux meter. With informed consent
routine eye examination was performed. The Schirmer’s
I test was performed, first in dark room illumination and
then after half an hour the same test was performed in
an illuminated room. and Correlation of test time
duration with Schirmer’s I value and level of
illumination
Keywords :
Schirmer Tests; Illumination; Tear Break-Up Time; Tear Secretion.
