Tóm tắt

Tear-film evaporation is critical for maintaining anterior-eye health and comfortable contact-lens wear. For the first time, we devise a quantitative method for ascertaining in-vivo tear evaporation rates (TERs) from simultaneous measurement of transient corneal surface cooling and fluorescein breakup.
