Classify the dry eye
Looks at each tear film layer and the glands together for a full assessment that helps pinpoint the type of dry eye.

IDRA One instrument for the full dry eye workup.
IDRA analyzes each patient's tear film quickly and in structural detail. It looks at every layer, including lipid layer thickness and the meibomian glands, and is designed to help classify the type of dry eye and guide a treatment plan built for that patient.

3DGland imaging
Every layer of the tear film, measured automatically
Automatic capture and analysis cover the lipid, aqueous and mucin layers plus the meibomian glands. The findings help classify the dry eye, and trained staff can run the assessment.
Quick automatic capture
An automatic acquisition can take as little as 15 seconds.
Staff can run it
The assessment is straightforward to hand off to trained staff.
Results patients can see
Patients get documented findings and treatment options, and the 3D gland images make the conversation easier.
Treatment suggestions
An algorithm proposes a possible approach for each patient, drawing on a list the doctor builds of the drugs, supplements and treatments the practice offers.
An automated exam for each layer
IDRA runs on the Instrument Control Platform (ICP), the software that captures and analyzes the surface exams.
- Automatic interferometry and NIBUT
- 3D gland imaging
- Screening for blepharitis and cylindrical dandruff
-
Interferometry
Measures lipid layer thickness as a window on gland function, and can help in follow-up by picking up an increase in secretion after gland treatment.
-
NIBUT
One video yields an automatic NIBUT averaged across several readings, a stability-over-time graph and a topographic map of where the film breaks up.
-
Tear meniscus
Measures meniscus height automatically, a non-invasive indicator tied to aqueous production.
-
3D meibography
Three-dimensional gland images show lid structure and help confirm abnormal glands against a healthy reference.
How the exam runs
An IDRA workup is quick, painless and non-invasive, and trained staff can perform it.
No-touch capture
Infrared and visible light imaging record the tear film and ocular surface without contact.
Seconds per capture
Automatic captures can take as little as 15 seconds, and interferometry reports gland function within a few seconds.
Findings and a plan
Patient and data software puts images up for review right away, and the algorithm proposes a possible approach for each patient.
