Schirmer’s Test: A Procedure to Measure Tear Production •Schirmer’s test is a simple diagnostic eye procedure used to evaluate tear production and diagnose dry eye conditions. •It helps determine whether the eyes are producing enough tears to keep the surface properly lubricated.•During the test, a small strip of special filter paper is gently placed inside the lower eyelid. •The amount of tear wetting on the paper is measured over a few minutes to assess tear production.•This test is commonly used in patients with symptoms like dryness, burning sensation, irritation, redness, or a gritty feeling in the eyes.• It helps in diagnosing conditions like Dry Eye Syndrome.•Schirmer’s test is quick, safe, and may cause mild temporary discomfort or watering during the procedure.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we perform accurate Schirmer’s testing to diagnose dry eye conditions and provide appropriate treatment for long-term eye comfort.#SchirmersTest #DryEyes #EyeCare #HealthyEyes 👁️
