Overview Contacare Tear Strips

Contacare Tear Test Strips, crafted from absorbent filter paper, feature a precise printed scale for accurate tear volume measurement. Individually packaged for hygiene, their design ensures simple and reliable readings. These strips are employed in the Schirmer test, a non-anesthetic assessment of basal tear secretion. **Specifications:** Filter paper construction for optimal absorption; integrated calibrated scale for precise readings; individual packaging for sterility; ergonomic design for ease of use. **Instructions:** Prior to testing, avoid eye medications or manipulation. Place a dry strip along the lower eyelid's mid-lateral third. Instruct the patient to gaze forward and blink naturally for 5 minutes. Measure wetted length in millimeters post-removal. **Safety Precautions:** Maintain hand hygiene; avoid touching the absorbent area; practice sterile technique; store in a cool, dry environment. **FAQ:** Q: Can the test be performed with contact lenses? A: No, lens removal is necessary before testing.
