Topcon TERA™ Dry Eye Imaging

Dry eye disease can have many different causes, which is why accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. At Lakeway Eye Center, we use the Topcon TERA™ Dry Eye Imager, an advanced diagnostic system that allows us to evaluate the health of the tear film, eyelids, and ocular surface in detail.

This technology combines multiple non-invasive tests into one platform, allowing our doctors to assess key factors involved in dry eye disease—including tear film stability, tear volume, and the health of the meibomian (oil) glands that help keep the eyes properly lubricated.

The system also captures high-resolution images of the ocular surface and eyelids, helping identify issues such as meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, and tear film abnormalities that can contribute to dry eye symptoms.
Because the imaging is quick and non-invasive, it provides valuable diagnostic information while remaining comfortable for patients.

Benefits of TERA imaging include:

• Detailed evaluation of the tear film and ocular surface

• Visualization of meibomian gland structure and function

• Objective measurements of tear stability and tear volume

• Clear imaging that helps guide personalized dry eye treatment

By using advanced diagnostic technology like Topcon TERA, we can identify the underlying causes of dry eye and create targeted treatment plans that provide lasting relief.
