OCULAR DRYNESS:
CALCULATE YOUR PATIENTS' SCORES
Introducing eTAO
Discover eTAO, the revolutionary tool for healthcare professionals specializing in dry eye. Designed to meet three essential needs:
● Efficiently structure the steps involved in modern dry eye diagnosis.
● Simplify understanding for your patients with clear, accessible elements.
● Monitor your patients’ progress accurately and continuously.
The eTAO Score is based on four fundamental clinical criteria that are well known and integrated into the dry eye examination routine. We have developed two versions to suit your needs:
● eTAO Standard: Can be used without sophisticated equipment, ideal for immediate implementation.
● eTAO Expert: For professionals with advanced machines, including additional examinations such as epithelial mapping and meibography.
With its PDF report, the eTAO application lets you communicate easily with your patients and document their cases in a professional and organized way.
Join the new generation of dry eye diagnosis and monitoring with eTAO.
e: corneal epithelium
Epithelial mapping with OCT offers an objective and precise measurement, enabling detailed characterization of corneal suffering.
Thanks to this advanced technology, you can obtain crucial information for an informed diagnosis.
No OCT?
No problem!
You can still grade the corneal epithelium using fluorescence, offering flexibility in your diagnostic tools.
With eTAO, you benefit from a comprehensive and adaptable approach to assessing and treating dry eye in your patients.
T: telangiectasias
A: Meibomian gland atrophy
Meibomian gland atrophy is a crucial piece of information for determining the stage of development of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
By grading this atrophy, you can follow its evolution in a precise and informed way.
With eTAO, you benefit from a sophisticated tool for monitoring and analyzing the evolution of DGM, offering your patients optimal, personalized care.
O: Meibomian gland obstruction
Epithelial mapping with OCT offers an objective and precise measurement, enabling detailed characterization of corneal suffering.
Thanks to this advanced technology, you can obtain crucial information for an informed diagnosis.
No OCT?
No problem!
You can still grade the corneal epithelium using fluorescence, offering flexibility in your diagnostic tools.
