LacryDiag from Quantel Medical has helped us to improve our research studies and clinical trials. Nevertheless, most importantly I consider that has helped patients to understand better their particular pathologies and the proposed treatments.

I have had excellent feedback from patients whom I have treated with the Lacrystim device. It is important to manage expectations and I tell my patients to expect a noticeable improvement after 3 treatments. I am recommending 4 treatments for all cases and the typical response is an improvement in symptoms which last longer and longer after each treatment. Re- treatment with 1 session is often requested at about 1 year after the first treatments.

For our patients, our goals are to increase quality of life, sustain intraocular pressure reduction, and reduce or eliminate the need for prescription eye drops. The LacryDiag offers a complete Dry Eye Disease (DED) diagnosis through multiple, noncontact tests in less than 5 minutes, making this a valuable device to have in a clinical setting and establishing a strong vantage point for treating patients diagnosed with DED and glaucoma.
