One of the most common clinical challenges faced in optometry is dry eye. Thanks to new technology we can now treat dry eye in ways never before available. The latest in technology is called The TearLab. It measures a small sample of the patient's tears to see how "dry" they really are. Our clinic is one of the first in Nixa, MO to offer this advanced diagnostic evaluation.

Treatment is prescribed based on the measurements from the TearLab. Treatments range from Omega 3 supplements, tear replacement drops, punctal plugs, anti- inflammatory drops, oral antibiotics and prescription strength artificial tears.

Diagnosing Dry Eye Disease With the TearLab Osmolarity System

Dry eye disease is a multi-factorial disease that affects an estimated 25 million people in the United States alone. In fact, dry eye disease is one of the most common reasons that people visit their eye care professional.

The increasing prevalence of dry eye disease is precisely why Nixa Family Eye Care became certified by TearLab as an 'Accredited Dry Eye Center'. As an Accredited Dry Eye Center, the staff at Nixa Family Eye Care is dedicated to providing the highest quality of dry eye care by using advanced ophthalmic diagnostic techniques and treatments. One of the latest devices in dry eye technology is the TearLab Osmolarity System. By using the TearLab, Accredited Dry Eye Centers like Nixa Family Eye Care can quickly and painlessly measure a small sample of a patient’s tears to determine how dry they truly are.

In fact, the TearLab is the first objective and quantitative test for diagnosing and managing dry eye patients. Using just a nanoliter of tear fluid, the osmolarity data that the TearLab gathers allows patients to understand their 'level' of disease. Your unique tear number will also allow your doctor to decipher the best means of treatment for you.

If you’ve been experiencing recurring dry eye symptoms including: itching, burning and discomfort, be sure to schedule a TearLab test with Dr. Daniel Boone today.
