What is a Dry Eye Evaluation?
A dry eye evaluation is a comprehensive diagnostic exam that identifies the underlying cause of your dry eye symptoms. At Resolution Eyecare in Austin and Round Rock, our dry eye specialists perform advanced testing to diagnose conditions like meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), evaporative dry eye, and aqueous deficiency.
During your evaluation, we assess:
-
Tear film quality and stability
-
Meibomian gland function and blockages
-
Ocular surface inflammation
-
Tear production volume (Schirmer test)
-
Osmolarity levels
Our specialist Dr. Shawn Matsumoto uses diagnostic technology including meibography and tear film analysis to determine whether your dry eyes stem from inflammation, gland dysfunction, or inadequate tear production. This precise diagnosis allows us to create a personalized dry eye treatment plan based on your specific condition, lifestyle, and goals.
Advanced Dry Eye Technology
We invest in the latest dry eye diagnostic technology to give our patients the most accurate and comprehensive evaluation possible.
Your dry eye assessment may include:
-
Tear Film Analysis – Measures the quality and stability of your tear film using non-invasive imaging.
-
Meibomian Gland Imaging – High-resolution imaging to assess the structure and function of the oil glands in your eyelids.
-
Ocular Surface Staining – Highlights areas of dryness or damage on the eye’s surface for precise evaluation.
-
Tear Osmolarity Testing – Detects salt concentration changes in your tears that can indicate dry eye severity.
-
Inflammation Marker Testing – Measures inflammatory proteins that contribute to irritation and redness.
-
Blink and Lipid Layer Assessment – Observes how well your eyelids distribute tears to keep your eyes lubricated.
These tools allow Dr. Shawn Matsumoto to pinpoint the exact source of your symptoms—whether it’s caused by evaporative dry eye, aqueous deficiency, inflammation, medication-related dryness, or environmental factors—allowing us to create a customized dry eye treatment plan tailored to your needs.
