And column will be stained with blue dye as the SMTube absorbs tears. The length of stained column quantifies the tear meniscus volume. Since SMTube is used right on ocular surfaces, the safety is highly considered; The material and structure were carefully chosen and designed so that no damage ought to occur on the ocular surface in case the tip of the strip touches cornea or conjunctiva.\n<br><br>\nA number of reports have been published in terms of the use of SMTube in their clinical studies. Here are some of the examples:\n1. Quantitative measurement of tear meniscus volume during visual field testings using SMTube (Sagara et al.)\n2. An efficacy of SMTube testing in a mass screening of dry eye disease during regular medical checkup (Ishikawa 2018)\n3. A clinical efficacy of SMTube in the diagnosis of dry eye disease when combined with OCT examinations (Shinzawa 2018)<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class='yrm-btn-wrapper yrm-inline-wrapper yrm-btn-wrapper-1  yrm-more-button-wrapper'><span title='...Read More' data-less-title='...' data-more-title='...\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080'  class='yrm-toggle-expand  yrm-toggle-expand-1' data-rel='yrm-LxUhB' data-more='...\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080' data-less='...' style='border: none; width: 100%;'><span class=\"yrm-button-text-1 yrm-button-text-span\">...Read More<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls poster=\"https:\/\/www.echo-mf.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Dr.-Tsubota.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.echo-mf.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Front-page.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tear film stability is closely related to the tear volume.
