Official Title: Optical Coherence Tomography of Ocular Structures in Epiphora and Dry Eye Syndrome (OCT)
Brief Summary:
The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) may be a useful tool for investigating the in-vivo histology of ocular structures in patients with tear film pathology. In epiphora the investigators will image the proximal lacrimal system. In dry eye syndrome the investigators will image the lacrimal gland and also the buccal mucosa.
The secondary aim of the study is to investigate the appearance of the normal cornea and conjunctiva under OCT imaging.
