Summary

This study tests a small device that attaches to a smartphone to help diagnose dry eye disease. It takes special pictures of the eye's surface using different lights. The goal is to see if people can use it at home to get accurate results, compared to a standard eye exam. About 50 adults with and without dry eye will take part.
