The Lipid Layer
Polaris enables the visualisation and categorisation of the different types of Lipid Layer structure, which are determined by the thickness and the regularity of the Tear Film (amorphous, grainy, wavey , yellow,brown or blueish red interference bands)
The Tear Film Meniscus
Polaris is non invasive and enables a full examination of the Tear Film meniscus without the use of unnecessary staining , which in itself changes the composition of the Tear Film and can lead to false diagnosis. The Tear Film meniscus can be evaluated according to height, shape and regularity.
Break Up Time
The non invasive break up time of the Tear Film (NIBUT) can be assessed easily using the different filters thus enabling an evaluation of the stability and regularity of the Tear Film.
The Corneal Surface
The Placido Ring Filter with its concentric rings allows an evaluation of the regularity of the corneal surface.
