All diseases of the lacrimal apparatus of the eye disrupt the balance of the lacrimal system either due to changes in the production of tears, or due to the insufficiency of its removal, so the study of the quantity and quality of tears on the eye surface allows us to reliably assess the effectiveness of methods of treating the pathology of the lacrimal organs. OCT-meniscometry is the only non-contact, non-invasive, accurate method of examining the lacrimal apparatus, which is reflected in the publications of many authors. The aim of our study was to improve the accuracy and automate the process of calculating the area of the lacrimal meniscus, as well as to evaluate the correlation between the indicators of OCT-meniscometry and functional tests. Materials and methods. The study included 50 patients with dacryostenosis (group 1), who were examined before and 1 month after surgical treatment (recanalization of SOP), as well as 30 patients without pathology of the lacrimal organs, who did not complain of lacrimation and dry eyes (group 2). All patients underwent a Schirmer and Norn test according to the generally accepted method, and OCT-meniscometry was performed using an optical coherence tomograph. The resulting OCT-meniscogram was transferred to a special mathematical program. Green's formula was used to calculate the area. Results. Meniscometry data had a strong correlation with functional tests (p<0.05) and high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion. The method of OCT-meniscometry has a higher sensitivity and specificity compared to routine tests, is less invasive, highly informative, which, of course, increases the reliability of the analysis of treatment results.
