Atomic force microscopy and Langmuir–Blodgett monolayer technique to assess contact lens deposits and human meibum extracts
Hagedorn, Sarah; Drolle, Elizabeth; Lorentz, Holly; Srinivasan, Sruthi; Leonenko, Zoya; Jones, Lyndon W. (Elsevier, 2015-07)Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the differences in meibomian gland secretions, contact lens (CL) lipid extracts, and CL surface topography between participants with and without meibomian ... -
CLINICAL AND ANALYTICAL STUDIES IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN SYMPTOMATIC OF DRY EYE
Srinivasan, Sruthi (University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)Introduction Menopause which is defined as a permanent physiological, or natural, cessation of menstrual cycle, plays an important role in the development of ocular surface dryness symptoms and there is an increased ... -
Comparison of meibomian gland dropout using two infrared imaging devices
Wong, Stephanie; Srinivasan, Sruthi; Murphy, Paul J.; Jones, Lyndon W. (Elsevier, 2018-11-07)Purpose To measure the degree of meibomian gland (MG) dropout in the lower eyelid determined by analysis of images obtained from the LipiView II (LVII) and the Keratograph 5M (K5M). Methods The inferior eyelid of each ... -
Historical overview of imaging the meibomian glands
Ngo, William; Srinivasan, Sruthi; Jones, Lyndon W. (Elsevier, 2013-01)Growing knowledge of the role of the meibomian glands in dry eye disease and contact lens discomfort has resulted in a surge of interest in visualizing these glands within the eyelids. This manuscript provides an overview ... -
Infrared Imaging of Meibomian Glands and Evaluation of the Lipid Layer in Sjogren's Syndrome Patients and Nondry Eye Controls
Menzies, K. L.; Srinivasan, Sruthi; Prokopich, C. L.; Jones, Lyndon W. (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2015-05-02)Purpose.: The purpose of this study was to evaluate meibomian gland dropout and lipid layer thickness (LLT) in patients with and without Sjögren's syndrome dry eye (SS). Methods.: We recruited 11 participants with SS ... -

Self versus examiner administration of the Ocular Surface Disease Index©
Ngo, William; Srinivasan, Sruthi; Keech, Adam; Keir, Nancy; Jones, Lyndon W. (Elsevier, 2017-01)Purpose: To compare the difference in Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI) scores when participants were given the OSDI to complete on their own (self-guided, SG), versus under the guidance of the examiner (examiner-guided, ...
