Hi
I start questioning the accuracy of the images as I have strange discrepancy.
My dr finally replied my email confirming the 1st images taken 10.2016 (by slit lamp camera by himself)
the % area of loss (aol) is ''significantly higher'' than the 2nd images taken in 03.2017.
Does not make sense, since glands wont grow, right?
3rd images (05.2017) by infrared light % aol about 55%, exactly the same as 2nd images
4th images (09.2017) by infrared light (same machine as the 3rd's)
% alo (dropped to) about 28% (= more glands alive??)
-All are only lower glands. 3rd & 4th are from different doctors, 1st & 2nd are the same doctor
-Did LipiFlow 07.2016 - felt great each day in 2-3 months but only lasted 3 weeks. All glands are open after LipiFlow, I was told. Unfortunately no images were taken prior to LipiFlow (although I paid for LipiView test).
-Pain reduced about 70% after LipiFlow and no more pain for 7 months
Seems the results also depend on HOW to roll the lids, which probably explain the discrepancy??
Anyone has similiar experience? Any thoughts on this? My family said it is impossible to get 100% accuracy?
Hard to tell from pictures as some are pretty small. I guess maybe 40% difference is easier to spot.
Thanks!
