| Measure | Time frame | Description |

| Schirmer test | 12 Months | The Schirmer's test, also known as the Schirmer tear test, is a medical test used to assess tear production, particularly when a person experiences dry eyes or excessive tearing, by measuring how much a filter paper strip gets wet by tears in the lower eyelid |
| Tear Break up Test | 12 months | The Tear Breakup Time (TBUT) test, also known as the Tear Film Breakup Time (TFBUT) test, assesses tear film stability by measuring the time it takes for dry spots to appear on the cornea after a blink, indicating potential dry eye |
