The Sbm Device is the new instrument for the individual analysis of tear film that allows to carry out quick detailed structural research of the tear composition.
Research on all the layers (Lipid, Aqueous, Mucin) and Meibomian Glands.
Thanks to the Sbm Device it is possible to identify the type of Dry Eye Disease (DED) and determine which components can be treated with a specific treatment, in relation to the type of deficiency.
Using the new Sbm Sistemi IDRA, Interferometry gets easy, quick and automatic.
The software automatically detects the coloured lipids on the patient’s eye and determines lipid layer thickness (LLT).
In a few seconds it is possible to get automatically relevant data to understand functionality of Meibomian Glands such as:
and provide a lipid Dynamic graph.
The IDRA software analyses lipid layer thickness and allows to understand the functionality of Meibomian Glands.
It is possible to carry out a follow up after MG treatment detecting an increase in secretion.
The evaluation of the lipid layer is part of your overall Dry Eye Assessment. Knowing what is causing Dry Eye will help determine the best treatment option.
After your assessment is complete, the Optometrist will discuss your treatment options.
This is an excellent method of screening for dry-eye, to measure the lower tear meniscus in patients with aqueous tear deficiency (ATD) dry eye and to determine the most effective meniscus variables for the diagnosis of dry eye.
With the magnification tool, it is possible to measure the tear meniscus height on the lower eyelid and evaluate its characteristics.
The result of this exam is comparable to the Schirmer’s Tear Test 1 (STT1), with the difference that it is not invasive, does not cause reflected tearing and lasts 3 seconds instead of several minutes.
The Sbm Device allows to evaluate tear film stability and regularity, using non-invasive break up time measurement (NIBUT). This measures the number of seconds between one complete blinking and the appearance of the first discontinuity in the tear film.
With the Sbm Device, thanks to one single video, the physician can gain lots of information:
IDRA automatically detects and analyses blinking, determining its quality.
A healthy person should be expected to show periodic blinking, by closing the eyelids briefly.
Most blinks are spontaneous, occurring regularly with no external stimulus. However, a reflex blink can occur in response to external stimuli such as a bright light, a sudden loud noise, or an object approaching towards the eyes.
To decrease evaluation time, the software automatically detects the lid margin for MG analysis.
The Sbm Sistemi tools allow an accurate comprehension of the ocular surface and especially the Meibomian Glands. The acquired images are processed and transformed into 3D pictures. Thanks to scientific algorithms it is possible for the physician to see these 3D images, and to show them and explain abnormalities to the patients.
It will therefore be easier for the physician to recommend a specific treatment even if it is more expensive. It will also be possible to evaluate the efficacy of periocular intense pulsed light therapy on MGs.
