At Casey Optical Co. in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we use the TearLab osmolarity system to accurately diagnose and manage dry eye disease. This innovative diagnostic tool measures the osmolarity, or salt content, of your tears to determine the level of dryness in your eyes.

Taking the tear sample is quick and painless, and we’ll have the results in about 10 minutes. If a dry eye diagnosis is confirmed, Dr. Kniffen will develop a personalized treatment plan to provide you with relief from your symptoms. Treatment options may include artificial tears, prescription eye drops, punctal plugs, meibomian gland expression, and lifestyle changes. 

Managing your dry eye treatment 

Once you’ve started dry eye treatment, we can use the TearLab system to monitor the effectiveness of your treatment plan. By measuring the osmolarity level, we can determine whether the treatment is working effectively or if adjustments are necessary to achieve optimal results.
