Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

LacryDiag is a new Conformity European (CE) marked diagnostic imaging device devoted to the analysis of the ocular surface. It is an "all in one" device that provides 4 data: non-invasive break-up time (Non-Invasive Break-Up-Time (NIBUT) without fluorescein eye drop); height of the Tear Meniscus (TM); an infrared image of the meibomian glands; a picture of the lacrimal film by interferometry. it's performance will be compare between in diagnosing dry eye syndrome with the standard clinical evaluation, in 80 patients suffering from dry eye diseases and followed at the consultation of the Ophthalmology department of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the value of Break-Up-Time (BUT) between Non-Invasive Break-Up-Time (NIBUT) measured by LacryDiag and Standard Break-Up-Time (SBUT) measured by usual practice.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

80 patients divided into 4 subgroups according to the value of manual Standard Break-Up-Time (SBUT):

* 0-5 seconds (very dry)
* 5-10 seconds (sec)
* 10-15 seconds (moderately dry)
* 15-20 seconds (normal)
Primary Study Purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patient with dry eye disease

Patient with dry eye disease will be included. They will have:

* Time #1: LacryDiag examination without dye
* Time #2: MicroInstillation Break-Up Time (MIBUT) + Oxford score
* Time #3: Standard Break-Up Time (SBUT)
* Time #4: Schirmer test
* Satisfaction questionnaire to the patient

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Time #1: Non Invasive Break-Up Time (NIBUT)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A LacryDiag examination without dye will be realized. All measurements are made without contact. It's calculates the Non Invasive Break-Up Time (NIBUT), Tear Meniscus (TM) height (in millimeters) and number of Meibomian Gland.

These are different pictures taken with LacryDiag and analyzed.

Time #2: MicroInstillation Break-Up Time (MIBUT) + Oxford score

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The MicroInstillation of fluorescein Break-Up Time (MIBUT) will be calculated by manual MIBUT and LacryDiag MIBUT.

The Oxford score will be calculated. It's used to clinically determine the severity of dry eyes with minimum score at 0 (none) and maximum score at 5 (very severity).

Time #3: Standard Break-Up Time (SBUT)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Standard Break-Up Time (SBUT) with fluorescein macroinstillation will be calculated by manual SBUT and LacryDiag SBUT.

Time #4: Schirmer test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Schirmer test will be performed. It consists of applying the end of a small strip of blotting paper behind the lower eyelid and examining the strip after 5 minutes.

Satisfaction questionnaire to the patient

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

A satisfaction questionnaire to the patient will be completed at the end of the participation at the study.

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Time #2: MicroInstillation Break-Up Time (MIBUT) + Oxford score

The MicroInstillation of fluorescein Break-Up Time (MIBUT) will be calculated by manual MIBUT and LacryDiag MIBUT.

The Oxford score will be calculated. It's used to clinically determine the severity of dry eyes with minimum score at 0 (none) and maximum score at 5 (very severity).

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Time #3: Standard Break-Up Time (SBUT)

The Standard Break-Up Time (SBUT) with fluorescein macroinstillation will be calculated by manual SBUT and LacryDiag SBUT.

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Time #4: Schirmer test

The Schirmer test will be performed. It consists of applying the end of a small strip of blotting paper behind the lower eyelid and examining the strip after 5 minutes.

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
