Abstract:
A method for analyzing tear film thermograph of contactless tear film thermal imager has steps of sequentially loading multiple thermographs of a tear film, recording a maximum and a minimum of temperatures for a region of interest of each one of the thermographs, dividing the thermograph into at least one temperature zone in accordance with the maximum and minimum temperatures recorded in the last step, and recording a size, a location and a bordering temperature of each one of the at least one temperature zone, analyzing a pattern and temperature variation of each one of the at least one temperature zone, and classifying stability of the tear film. The patterns of the temperature zones can be identified through circularity computation, mosaic and temperature gradient analysis. Accordingly, tear film break up patterns can be classified with the method to facilitate doctors to diagnose a dry eye patient.
