    • Dynamics of tear fluid desiccation on a glass surface: a contribution to tear quality assessment 
      Traipe Castro, Leonidas; Salinas Toro, Daniela; López, Daniela; Mazolli, Mario; Srur, Miguel; Valenzuela, Felipe; Cáceres, Aníbal; Toledo Araya, Héctor; López Solís, Remigio (BioMed Central, 2014)
      Background: Fern-like crystalloids form when a microvolume of tear is allowed to dry out at ambient conditions on a glass surface. Presence of crystalloids in tear “microdesiccates” is used to evaluate patients with ...
    • Microdesiccates produced from normal human tears display four distinctive morphological components 
      López Solís, Remigio; Traipe Castro, Leonidas; Salinas Toro, Daniela; Srur, Miguel; Toledo Araya, Héctor (2013)
      Desiccation of human tears on glass surfaces results in fern-like crystalloids. This phenomenon has been associated with tear normality (Tear Ferning Test, TFT) and is used as a diagnostic aid to evaluate patients with ...
