Advanced Dry Eye Diagnostics in Nampa

Advanced diagnostics

Similar symptoms do not always have the same cause. Your evaluation looks at how your tear film, meibomian glands, eyelids, and ocular surface work together. Testing is selected according to your symptoms, history, and examination findings.

Meibography
Images of the oil-producing meibomian glands help assess their structure and identify areas of gland loss or change.

Noninvasive tear breakup time
This test measures how quickly the tear film becomes unstable between blinks.

Tear osmolarity
A small tear sample helps assess tear concentration, providing one piece of the overall dry eye evaluation.

Ocular surface staining
Diagnostic dyes help reveal patterns of corneal and conjunctival surface damage.

High resolution imaging and eyelid assessment
Detailed examination helps assess the eyelid margins, gland secretions, blink completeness, and ocular surface.

No single test explains every case. Dr. Besecker interprets your findings together with your symptoms, medications, health history, and previous treatments.
