Extrait : The combination of the Schirmer I and PRT tests strongly improves the screening procedure to detect patients with ocular dryness related to Sjögren’s syndrome or SAPS. It could be more widely used in daily clinical practice, aside from the Schirmer I test, to optimize the work-up of patients presenting with dry-eye subjective signs.

Extrait : Kappa value between PRT and Schirmer was found to be 0.96 in this study and shows a strong agreement between the two. So, PRT can be considered equally good in detecting dry eye.

Extrait : Difference between all dry eyes and normals was not significant. For the aqueous deficient and non-aqueous deficient dry eyes only, using a cut-off value of 20 mm the calculated sensitivity and specificity values were 86% and 83% respectively. This cotton thread test can effectively differentiate between aqueous deficient and non-aqueous deficient dry eye.
