Summary
To evaluate tear film stability of a market lubricant therapeutic eye drop versus saline when
using Evaporometry and Interferometry in patients with a diagnosis of Keratoconjunctivitis
Sicca (KCS). The purpose of this research is to evaluate evaporative parameters and tear film
quality when using Systane lubricating eye drops versus saline in the eyes of dry eye
patients at pre-instillation and at 30 and 60 minutes post instillation of drop(s).
