OSDx tests

Dye tests

Dye-based ocular-surface tests document tear-film stability, epithelial staining, tear clearance and vital-stain patterns using the appropriate OSDx imaging mode.

Available dye test workflows

FTBUT

Fluorescein tear break-up time records the interval from the last blink to first significant tear-film disruption.

Corneal fluorescein staining

Documents punctate, inferior, interpalpebral, focal or geographic epithelial staining patterns.

FDDT / TCA

Tracks fluorescein intensity over time to support tear-clearance and dye-disappearance assessment.

Lissamine green

Documents devitalised or mucin-deficient ocular-surface areas, especially conjunctival staining.

Rose bengal

Documents ocular-surface staining patterns where rose bengal is clinically indicated.
