The Sapphire A device can therefore provide you with an exceptionally detailed overview of your patient’s tear film composition. It can aid in the diagnosis of the type and severity of the dry eye disease and will recommend a suggested treatment protocol for the individual eye. The device can analyse a number of different features, including the lipid layer, tear meniscus, blood vessels and more. The Sapphire A device can therefore provide you with a full picture of your patients’ eye health, so you are able to determine the cause and treatment for dry eyes. The Sapphire A is designed to perform tear film tests, from the quality of tears to the analysis of the Meibomian Glands. Is the new instrument for the individual analysis of the tear film that allows to carry out a quick detailed structural research of the tear composition. Its pin has been built in order to fit perfectly into the hole that you can see when the plate used for the tonometer is removed. Closer the device is to the eye broader the area is illuminated by the instrument. The light reflected from the tear film can be observed as a white circular area that almost completely covers the cornea. This exam has fundamental importance, because most of the dry eye diseases are caused by an insufficiency of lipid layer quantity. The evaluation of the lipid layer is part of your overall Dry Eye Assessment. Knowing what is causing Dry Eye will help determine the best treatment option. LIPID LAYER ANALYSIS LLT measurements are presented in an easy to understand color-coded scale. The identification is done through the international grading scale of Dr. Guillon.
