Abstract
The Tearscope was invented primarily to allow 360° observation of the tear film by specular reflection. The preocular and prelens tear film is viewed with a cold-cathode light source with minimum effect on their structure. Their stability is measured by the noninvasive break-up time (NIBUT).
