Schirmer Test

This test is used to assess tear production and is helpful in treating dry eye syndrome.  Tiny paper tabs are inserted in the lower lids and removed after a few minutes.  When the tab is removed, the dampened area is measured in millimeters.  This helps the doctor determine the presence or extent of a dry eye condition.
