Diagnosing Dry Eye with Wratten Filter

Struggling to identify the root cause of your patients' #dryeye symptoms? You're not alone—there's often a disconnect between signs and symptoms of ocular surface disease. Dr. I. Paul Singh shares an easy tip to help you diagnose. 🌟 The Wratten Filter: This yellow filter (easily available on Amazon!) pairs with your cobalt blue light to enhance the visibility of the tear film and ocular surface. When used with fluorescein dye, it transforms the bluish hue into a greenish glow, making it easier to detect: ✔️ SPK ✔️ EBMD ✔️ Tear film breakup time ✔️ Subtle staining 🛠️ Pro Tip: Opt for a handheld lens or toggle between blue and yellow modes on your slit lamp. #Ophthalmology #OcularSurface #EyeCare #TearFilm
