user2862941128694828 :

How does the paper not cause a corneal abrasion as the pt moves their eye around?

Surfjam :

I wish more dry eye docs did this test! I was only treated for MGD for years — recently went to a new doc and found out I have a 1mm schirmers score!

Sarah :

My Schirmer was 6 and 7 after 5 mins. How horrible is that?

Jim6973 :

these are techniques from the dark ages ? what do you use for tonometry? schiotz indentation?

Melanie Brynn :

had dry eye since i was 12 … lacrimal gland completely failed at 20 because every doctor i came across didn’t take schirmers , and told me I was too young for Dry Eye. Now I’m 2 1/2 years into being housebound thanks to all the doctors that don’t believe in prevent preventative testing 😞 glad you perform this test

quattlebaumBoys :

Is that aqueous deficiency or mgd?

gvnn_lucas :

with anesthetic drops? or without?

Why would you do this over non invasive TBUT? wouldn’t applying the paper Cause epiphoria and skew the results? Genuinely curious
