Toxic hyperosmolarity can damage corneal cells and drive refractive instability1-3
In cataract and refractive surgery, 20/20 unhappy patients can be puzzling.
Hyperosmolarity may be the missing piece.1
The power of osmolarity testing in the palm of your hand
Our job as an eye care provider is to deliver quality vision to all our patients, both surgical and non-surgical. POC testing, like osmolarity, is an objectively fast and easy way to accomplish our goal.
Alice Epitropoulos, MD
The sooner we can measure tear quality, and see that there are abnormalities such as hyperosmolarity, the better our response will be to treat it.

I am relentless in delivering the highest quality of vision for my patients, and the ScoutPro device provides me the objective data needed for ideal treatment plans.
Selina McGee, OD
I get asked, “how important is osmolarity testing in modern cataract-refractive surgery?” And my response is, “how important is quality of vision for your patient outcomes?”

Indications and Important Safety Information for ScoutPro Osmolarity System
Indications: The ScoutPro Osmolarity System is an automated device intended to quantitatively measure the osmolarity of human tears to aid in the diagnosis of dry eye disease, in patients suspected of having dry eye disease in conjunction with other methods of clinical evaluation.
Contraindications: Do not collect tear fluid from a patient within two hours of medicinal eye drop use or use of topical medications. Do not collect or store tear fluid samples for transport or testing at a later time. Do not collect tear fluid after ocular surface staining. Do not collect tear fluid within 15 minutes of use of anesthetic or mydriatic (dilating) eye drops or after other invasive ocular diagnostic testing. Do not collect tear fluid within 15 minutes after a slit lamp examination. Do not collect tear fluid within 15 minutes from a patient who has been crying.
The ScoutPro Osmolarity System (ScoutPro) is a CLIA Waived test system for human tears. Each laboratory or testing site using the ScoutPro must have a CLIA Certificate of Waiver before starting testing.
The ScoutPro is designed for stability, reliability, and safety, and it has been developed, manufactured, and marketed under a quality management system certified to ISO 13485 (2012).
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
