Abstract

A lateral shearing interferometer designed and built for the study of the precorneal tear film topography dynamics and its effect on visual performance is presented. Simple data processing algorithms are discussed and tested on data illustrating different tear topography features: postblink tear undulation, tear breakup, eyelid-produced bumps and ridges, bubbles, and rough precontact lens tear surfaces.
