Meibography Dry Eye Diagnosis System

The Sapphire A+ Device is a novel instrument that enables one to conduct a rapid, detailed structural analysis of the tear film composition. Research on the Meibomian Glands and all three layers (Lipid, Aqueous, and Mucin). The Sapphire A+ Device enables the identification of the type of Dry Eye Disease (DED) and the determination of which components will respond to a specific treatment in accordance with the type of deficiency.input:
output:The Sapphire A+ is intended to conduct tear film tests, which include the examination of the Meibomian Glands and the quality of tears. The new instrument is designed to conduct an individual analysis of the tear film, enabling a rapid and detailed structural investigation of the tear composition.



The Sapphire A+ automatically assesses the quality and quantity of the lipid component on the tear film. The software automatically analyzes the Lipid Layer Thickness (LLT) and the lipid layer is highlighted by the device.input:
output:AUTOMATED LIPID LAYER ANALYSIS

The lipid layer will be assessed as part of your comprehensive Dry Eye Assessment. The most effective treatment option will be determined by understanding the cause of Dry Eye. The Optometrist will review your treatment options with you following the conclusion of your assessment. The lipid pattern classification, incidence, and clinical interpretation are derived from the Guillon & Guillon description, which includes the estimated thickness (nm) and incidence (%).input:
output:It is also important to consider the frequency and completeness of blinking. The ideal time to observe this is while listening to the patient's history and symptoms. A typical blink pattern is characterized by an average of one blink every five seconds, or 11 blinks per minute.
