Overview

Other diagnostic studies for viral conjunctivitis include rapid antigen testing.[1] Other diagnostic studies for keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome) include corneal sensation, tear break up time, ocular surface staining, and Schirmer's test.[2][3]

Other Diagnostic Studies

Viral Conjunctivitis

Rapid in-office Antigen Testing

Rapid in-office antigen testing for adenoviruses has been helped to identify the viral causes of conjunctivitis and prevent unnecessary antibiotic use.[1]

Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca

Other diagnostic studies for keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome) conjunctivitis include corneal sensation, tear break up time, ocular surface staining, tear film interferometry, Schirmer's test, and InflammaDry (rapid in-office test for matrix metalloproteinase 9).[2][3][4]

Corneal Sensation

On corneal sensation test, chronic keratoconjunctivitis sicca is characterized by corneal hyperesthesia or reduced sensation.

Tear Break Up Time

On tear breakup time (TBUT), keratoconjunctivitis sicca is characterized by tear film instability and rapid evaporation. The tear film is observed under the light of a slit lamp.

Ocular Surface Staining

On ocular surface staining, keratoconjunctivitis sicca in a patients with aqueous tear deficiency may be characterized by fluorescein, Rose Bengal, or lissamine green staining on the interpalpebral conjunctiva.

Schirmer's Test

On Schirmer's test, keratoconjunctivitis sicca caused by severe aqueous deficiency is characterized by wetting under 5 mm.

Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (InflammaDry)

On InflammaDry (rapid in-office test), keratoconjunctivitis sicca is characterized by matrix metalloproteinase 9 elevation in the tear.[4][5]

Tear film interferometry

Tear film interferometry is a noninvasive method of grading tear film quality and estimating the thickness of the lipid layer.

On Tear film interferometry, keratoconjunctivitis sicca caused by mebomian gland dysfunction characterized by abnormal colored tear film.
