摘要:
An illumination light is projected onto a tear film lipid layer on a cornea of an eye to be examined, and the reflected light is received and the tear film lipid layer is imaged. The image of the tear film lipid layer that has been captured is processed, and the initial spread speed H' of the tear film lipid layer at the time the eyelid has been opened is measured. The image of the tear film lipid layer that has been captured is processed, and the time until the tear film lipid layer is broken up after the eyelid has been opened and a dark area T appears is measured. The appearance time of the dark area is plotted on the Y-axis and the initial spread speed H'(0) of the tear film lipid layer is plotted on the X-axis, and the type of dry eye is classified. In such a configuration, since the type of dry eye can be classified and determined, diagnosis and treatment in accordance with the type of dry eye are made possible.
