Objective Tear Osmolarity Testing, Right in the Palm of Your Hand
ScoutPro™ gives practices a portable way to measure tear osmolarity and add objective insight to the dry eye evaluation process.7 Designed for point-of-care use, ScoutPro™ helps support informed clinical conversations while fitting into everyday practice flow.
A Practical Way to See More Before You Plan
Objective ocular surface insight can help inform a more complete preoperative assessment.
ScoutPro™ is portable, practical, and precise, bringing objective tear osmolarity insight into the clinical workflow to support evaluation, patient conversations, and practice implementation.
A Clearer View of the Ocular Surface
Before surgical planning begins, understanding the ocular surface can help inform the next step.1
ScoutPro™ provides objective tear osmolarity results to support dry eye evaluation alongside other clinical methods.7
Measurable Clinical Data
Adds objective tear osmolarity results to support the broader clinical evaluation.7
Dry Eye Assessment Support
Supports evaluation of patients suspected of having dry eye disease.7
Ocular Surface Insight
Helps provide a more complete view of ocular surface health.1,7
Objective Planning Input
Gives surgeons and teams an additional data point before next-step planning.7

Corneal health can significantly impact surgical outcomes for patients.1 Tear hyperosmolarity is toxic to the eye, damaging corneal cells and contributing to refractive instability.2-4
Up to 80% of cataract surgery patients may be at risk for ocular surface disease, but they do not always present with symptoms.6
1 in 6 cataract patients with hyperosmolarity risk a >1.0 D variation in keratometry measurements. This variability increases the chances of postoperative refractive surprises.4
The ASCRS recommends pre-operative tear osmolarity testing to identify visually significant ocular surface disease.7
Hyperosmolarity has been shown to create light scatter equivalent to a grade 2–3 cataract.8,9
Additionally, tear hyperosmolarity makes refractive misses and patient dissatisfaction more likely after cataract surgery.5
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?”
