The Comparison of Measuring Tear Film Break-up Time Using Conventional Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy and Anterior Segment Digital Imaging

The Comparison of Measuring Tear Film Break-up Time Using Conventional Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy and Anterior Segment Digital Imaging

The stability of tear film can be measured by tear film break-up time (TFBUT). To date, the comparison value of TFBUT between slit lamp with stopwatch, which is conventional method and anterior segment digital imaging (ASDI) is under explored. The aim of this study was to compare TFBUT value between...
