Easy Clinic Diagnostics

You don’t need fancy diagnostics to get answers. Sometimes, all it takes is a pen light and a cotton-tip applicator. Dr. Tracy Doll reminds us that two of the most underused tools in the #dryeye workup are already in your exam lane. 🔦 Pen light = check for nocturnal lagophthalmos (yes, even the front-to-back kind. Who knew?) 🧴 Cotton tip = quick corneal sensitivity check to rule out neurotrophic keratitis #NK Both take seconds. Both can totally shift how you manage that “non-responsive” dry eye patient. This is the kind of stuff busy #eyecareprofessionals love! Smart, simple, and actually useful in the clinic. Financial Disclosures: Dompe, Biotissue
