Dry Eye Testing
We have the latest in testing for dry eye or "tear deficiency syndrome"
The first test is done by an instrument called a TEAR LAB tear osmolarity analyzer. It samples a tiny drop of tear fluid and will report wheter the fluid is "too salty" indicating a dry eye state.This test is fast and accurate.
The second NEW method is done with a unique chemistry testing tool called INFLAMMADRY. A small sample of tear fluid is placed into a window of a plastic test wand (similar to a pregnancy test device) and will show the presents of dry eye compounds. This test is fast and very accurate.
If you suffer from dry eye or have symptoms of dry eye including burning, pains, tired eyes, blurred vision that improves with blinking,then contact of office to have both of these great tests done! Phone: 619-688-2648, email us at myneweyes@hotmail.com or visit our website at www.myneweyes.com

Dry eyes
Hey everyone!
We just got a new device in the office for testing dry eye problems. Its a Tearlab analyzer. It samples a tiny amount of your tear fluid and a read out says if you have a dry eye problem. Its great! Easy and with accurate results.
How do I know if I need testing? Well, the common complaints for dry eye disease or tear deficiency disease are:
Gritty
Scratchy
Aches
Fluctuation vision
Vision that improves with forced blinking
Spontaneous tearing especially in windy conditions.
We also do other tests to work up dry eye problems along with the Tearlab device. Consider visiting my website for more information: www.myneweyes.com
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Gualtieri
