Abstract

PURPOSE

To investigate the relationship between the radius of tear meniscus curvature (TMR) and tear meniscus height (TMH).

METHODS

Twenty-nine eyes of dry-eye patients (all left eyes; two males, 27 females, aged 26 to 85 years [mean +/- SD; 60 +/- 14.4]) were enrolled in the study. TMR was measured at the tear meniscus of the central lower lid with a newly developed videomeniscometer. At the same region of the eye, TMHs were measured without fluorescein (TMH-M) and after 5 minutes with fluorescein (TMH-MF), using a slit lamp equipped with a micrometer. TMHs were also measured on cross-sectional photographs of the fluorescein-stained meniscus (TMH-P).

RESULTS

The values of TMR, TMH-M, TMH-MF, and TMH-P (mean +/- SD, mm) were 0.22 +/- 0.09, 0.19 +/- 0.09, 0.21 +/- 0.14, and 0.24 +/- 0.09, respectively. There was significant correlation between TMR and TMH-M, TMH-MF, and TMH-P values (TMR versus TMH-M: r = 0.596, p = 0.0005; TMR versus TMH-MF: r = 0.587, p = 0.0006; TMR versus TMH-P: r = 0.605, p = 0.0003).

CONCLUSION

There is a significant correlation between TMR and TMH. Videomeniscometry has some merits over conventional methods for obtaining tear meniscus parameters.

摘要

目的

研究泪液半月板曲率半径（TMR）与泪液半月板高度（TMH）之间的关系。

方法

纳入29例干眼患者的29只眼（均为左眼；男性2例，女性27例，年龄26至85岁[平均值±标准差；60±14.4]）。使用新开发的视频泪液半月板测量仪在中央下睑的泪液半月板处测量TMR。在眼睛的同一区域，使用配备测微计的裂隙灯在不使用荧光素的情况下测量TMH（TMH-M），并在使用荧光素5分钟后测量TMH（TMH-MF）。还在荧光素染色的半月板的横断面照片上测量TMH（TMH-P）。

结果

TMR、TMH-M、TMH-MF和TMH-P的值（平均值±标准差，mm）分别为0.22±0.09、0.19±0.09、0.21±0.14和0.24±0.09。TMR与TMH-M、TMH-MF和TMH-P值之间存在显著相关性（TMR与TMH-M：r = 0.596，p = 0.0005；TMR与TMH-MF：r = 0.587，p = 0.0006；TMR与TMH-P：r = 0.605，p = 0.0003）。
