“…Tear osmolarity 28 and tear film ferning 29‐31 tests assess tear film composition. Ocular surface staining test, 32 impression cytology, 33,34 lid‐parallel conjunctival folds (LIPCOF), 35 lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE), 35 in vivo confocal imaging, 36 and ocular surface sensitivity 37 are used to evaluate ocular surface damage. Assessments of the thickness of the lipid layer, 38 meibography, 39 and meibometry 40,41 are used to evaluate the quality of the tear film to diagnose dry eye.…”

Objective To compare the superficial punctate fluorescein staining in dogs with and without aqueous tear deficiency. Procedures An eye from each client‐owned dogs presented to Triangle Animal Eye Clinic between January and December 2018 underwent tear and ocular surface tests, which included the Schirmer tear test (STT), phenol red thread test (PRT), and strip meniscometry tube tear test (SMT). Punctate fluorescein staining of the cornea (PFS‐C) and the upper palpebral conjunctiva (PFS‐UPC) were also performed. Fifty‐seven dogs with STT results of <15 mm/min had aqueous tear deficiency (AD); 31 dogs had <10 mm/min and 26 dogs had ≥10 mm/min. The 162 dogs with STT results of ≥15 mm/min did not have AD. The test results of the groups were compared using Kruskal‐Wallis and Steel‐Dwass multiple comparison tests. Results Two hundred and nineteen eyes from 219 dogs were enrolled in this study. The PRT and SMT results, presented as mean ± SD, were significantly lower in the AD group than in the non‐AD group (PRT: 29.5 ± 8.1 vs 36.9 ± 5.6 mm/15 s; SMT: 6.2 ± 3.8 vs 10.8 ± 2.8 mm/5 s). The PFS scores were significantly higher in the AD group than in the non‐AD group (PFS‐C: 4.4 ± 0.7 and 3.7 ± 0.8; PFS‐UPC: 2.3 ± 0.5 and 1.7 ± 0.5). Conclusions These results suggest that aqueous tear deficiency is not only reflected by PRT and SMT but also PFS‐C and PFS‐UPC.

“…The palpebral conjunctival sensitivity appears to be more critical than corneal sensitivity when assessing DED [107]. The instruments like Cochet-Bonnet or non-contact air-jet esthesiometers have been employed to evaluate ocular surface sensitivity.…”

Dry eye is a multifactorial disease and hence single test cannot diagnose dry eye. Diagnosis of dry eye needs careful assessment of the symptoms along with battery of investigations. Many questionnaires have been developed to assess the symptoms of dry eye disease (DED). Some of the important questionnaires are Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Dry Eye Questionnaire (DEQ-5), Impact of Dry Eye on Everyday Living (IDEEL), National Eye Institute’s Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) and Dry Eye-Related Quality-of-Life Score (DEQS). Investigations for dry eye mainly target on the tear secretion, tear clearance, tear volume, tear film stability, tear evaporation, ocular surface damage, lipid layer of the tear film, chemical properties of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. There are many investigations that target on the above parameters and helps in accurate diagnosis of Dry eye disease (DED).

“…Other study found no significant differences in MG dropout between high and low corneal or conjunctival thresholds. 233 However, Golebiowski et al, 234 did found a reduced lid margin sensitivity in subjects with higher MGD score. It must be taken into account that differences between studies could be due to different study designs.…”
