Ophthalmic Strip Dealers in Bangalore

The Schirmer's test determines whether the eye produced enough tears to keep it moist. The test is especially done on a person who experienced very dry eyes or suffers from excessive watering. The Schirmer Tear Test Strips are individually wrapped and gauged so that they can be indentified easily. The Schirmer test is based on the mechanical reflex stimulation of the tear production and is actually a test of reflex tear production when it is performed without anesthesia. A dry Schirmer strip is placed in 1/3 part of your lower lid and then the patient is asked to look forward and blink normally. Then the strip is removed after 5 minutes and the amount of wetting is recorded in millimeters. It comes in a box of 100 strips in an individual pouch pack.
