Quantification of Tear Volume in an Autoimmune Dry Eye Rat Model using the Phenol Red Thread

2025
This video demonstrates the phenol red thread test to determine tear volume in an autoimmune dry eye rat model. The pH-sensitive acidic phenol red thread changes color when it comes in contact with the alkaline tears. The shorter length of color change in the phenol red thread corresponds to reduced tear volume.

Eye Tracking in Cognitive Experiments

Eye tracking as the name suggests involves tracking of eye-movements. It is a non-invasive, sensitive tool that quantifies and measures eye-movements to describe an individuals' cognitive state. An eye-movement between two fixation points is called a saccade, which is one of the fastest motor movements in our body. By observing the profiles of these eye movements, scientists can better understand neural deficits in patients with cognitive impairments. In this video, we will first look at an...

Trabecular meshwork (TM) migration into Schlemm’s canal space can be induced by acute pressure elevation by ophthalmodynamometer, and observed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography. The goal of this method is to quantify the morphometric response of the living outflow tract to acute pressure elevation in living tissues in situ.

Eye movement monitoring (or eye tracking) reveals where in space the eyes linger, when and for how long. Here, we demonstrate how eye tracking can be used to investigate the integrity of memory in multiple participant populations, without requiring verbal, or otherwise explicit, reports.
FAQs
Useful measurements include eyelid aperture, the distance between the upper and lower eyelids, and the positions of facial landmarks. These measures capture related but distinct aspects of eyelid narrowing, allowing investigators to select a representation suited to their observations. Using consistent measurements also supports comparisons of squint behavior across individuals and experimental conditions.
Squint intensity reflects how strongly eye openness changes, whereas duration describes how long that change persists during an observation. Recording both dimensions prevents a brief, pronounced response from being treated the same as a mild, sustained response. Together, they provide a more informative description of facial behavior during visual, environmental, or social events.
Standardization makes measurements more consistent across observers, individuals, conditions, and time points. Without a common approach, differences in how eye openness or facial landmarks are assessed could be mistaken for behavioral differences. Consistent scoring therefore strengthens interpretation by helping researchers attribute observed variation to the experimental or environmental context being studied.
A typical workflow begins with images or video, followed by assessment of eyelid aperture, the separation between the eyelids, or relevant facial landmark positions. The resulting observations are scored for squint intensity, duration, or both. Researchers can then organize these scores across participants, conditions, and time points for behavioral comparison.
This approach is useful when researchers need objective information about facial responses to visual stimuli, discomfort, stress, pain, social cues, or changing environmental conditions. It can characterize how eye narrowing varies among observations rather than relying only on subjective ratings. The measurements are therefore relevant to experiments examining behavior across controlled or changing contexts.
Images and video allow eyelid-related behavior to be examined across both laboratory and field observations. Quantified scores can help compare individuals, experimental conditions, and different time points within a study. In behavioral research, this supports analysis of facial responses while reducing dependence on subjective judgments, making patterns of eye narrowing easier to evaluate systematically.
