Identify the dry eye type
Evaluates all tear film layers and the meibomian glands to perform a complete dry eye assessment and help identify the type of dry eye disease.

IDRA All-in-one dry eye diagnostic platform.
IDRA is a diagnostic instrument for individual tear film analysis, enabling a rapid and detailed structural assessment of tear composition. It evaluates all tear film layers, including lipid layer thickness and meibomian glands, and is designed to help identify the type of dry eye disease and support personalized treatment recommendations.

How it works
Complete tear film assessment, automated
IDRA uses automatic acquisitions and analysis to assess the lipid, aqueous and mucin layers of the tear film along with the meibomian glands. The results help identify the type of dry eye disease, and the assessment can be delegated to staff.
Fast, automatic acquisitions
Automatic acquisitions are captured in as little as 15 seconds.
Delegable workflow
Dry eye assessment can be easily delegated to staff.
Documented results for patients
Patients receive documented results and treatment options, and 3D meibography gives a clear image to share with them.
Treatment suggestion algorithm
A suggestion algorithm shares a possible treatment approach for each patient, drawing on a database the physician fills with the drugs, supplements and treatments available in the practice.
Automated exams for every tear film layer
IDRA runs on the Instrument Control Platform (ICP), software that performs and analyzes ocular surface tests.
- Automatic interferometry and NIBUT
- 3D meibography
- Blepharitis and dandruff screening
-
Automatic interferometry
Analyses lipid layer thickness to understand meibomian gland function, and can support follow-up after meibomian gland treatment by detecting an increase in secretion.
-
Automatic NIBUT
A single video gives automatic NIBUT, an average of more than one value, a graph of tear film stability over time and a tear topography map of break-up.
-
Automatic tear meniscus
Analyses tear meniscus thickness automatically as a non-invasive measure related to aqueous tear production.
-
3D meibography
3D meibomian gland imaging shows the structure of the eyelids and helps confirm abnormal glands compared with a healthy subject.
The exam
The exam workflow
An IDRA assessment is quick, painless and non-invasive, and can be delegated to trained staff.
Non-invasive capture
Ocular surface and tear film exams are captured non-invasively using infrared and visible light imaging.
Seconds per acquisition
Automatic acquisitions are captured in as little as 15 seconds, and interferometry returns meibomian gland function data in a few seconds.
Results and treatment plan
Patient and data management software allows instant image review, and the suggestion algorithm proposes a possible treatment approach for each patient.
