Recently, Echo Electricity Co., Ltd. has successfully developed and initiated a manufacture of Strip Meniscometry Tube (SMTube), which is a medical device used for quantification of the tear meniscus volume residing on the ocular surface. SMTube allows one to measure the tear meniscus volume with five seconds of the testing time for one eye, which is remarkably shorter compared to the conventional Schirmer test requiring five minutes of the testing time.
A clinical efficacy of SMTube has been previously reported, where the testing was performed by a medical doctor under the use of a slit lamp biomicroscopy system. However, the efficacy of SMTube is still unclear if performed by a technical staff in clinics. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical performance of SMTube when the test is conducted by a technician.
