EyeRounds Online Atlas of Ophthalmology

Contributor: William Charles Caccamise, Sr, MD, Retired Clinical Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry

*Dr. Caccamise has very generously shared his images of patients taken while operating during the "eye season" in rural India as well as those from his private practice during the 1960's and 1970's. Many of his images are significant for their historical perspective and for techniques and conditions seen in settings in undeveloped areas.

The Schirmer test

There is a commercially available product, i.e. Schirmer tear test filter paper strips of Whatman #41 filter paper 5mm by 30mm. However, in this photograph standard Litmus paper strips are being used - Dr. Caccamise's preferred Schirmer test strip.
