Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions

Diagnostic Test: Satisfaction questionnaire to the patient
Registration Number
NCT04093037
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

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

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.
