Brief summary
LacryDiag is a new Conformity European (CE) marked diagnostic imaging device devoted to the analysis of the ocular surface. It is an all in one device that provides 4 data: non-invasive break-up time (Non-Invasive Break-Up-Time (NIBUT) without fluorescein eye drop); height of the Tear Meniscus (TM); an infrared image of the meibomian glands; a picture of the lacrimal film by interferometry. it's performance will be compare between in diagnosing dry eye syndrome with the standard clinical evaluation, in 80 patients suffering from dry eye diseases and followed at the consultation of the Ophthalmology department of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne.
Detailed description
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the value of Break-Up-Time (BUT) between Non-Invasive Break-Up-Time (NIBUT) measured by LacryDiag and Standard Break-Up-Time (SBUT) measured by usual practice.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTTime #1: Non Invasive Break-Up Time (NIBUT)
A LacryDiag examination without dye will be realized. All measurements are made without contact. It's calculates the Non Invasive Break-Up Time (NIBUT), Tear Meniscus (TM) height (in millimeters) and number of Meibomian Gland. These are different pictures taken with LacryDiag and analyzed.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTTime #2: MicroInstillation Break-Up Time (MIBUT) + Oxford score
The MicroInstillation of fluorescein Break-Up Time (MIBUT) will be calculated by manual MIBUT and LacryDiag MIBUT. The Oxford score will be calculated. It's used to clinically determine the severity of dry eyes with minimum score at 0 (none) and maximum score at 5 (very severity).
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTTime #3: Standard Break-Up Time (SBUT)
The Standard Break-Up Time (SBUT) with fluorescein macroinstillation will be calculated by manual SBUT and LacryDiag SBUT.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTTime #4: Schirmer test
The Schirmer test will be performed. It consists of applying the end of a small strip of blotting paper behind the lower eyelid and examining the strip after 5 minutes.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTSatisfaction questionnaire to the patient
A satisfaction questionnaire to the patient will be completed at the end of the participation at the study.
