DryEye Rescue Secures Exclusive U.S. Distribution Rights for ScoutPro by Bausch + Lomb
In a significant advancement for the field of dry eye diagnostics, DryEye Rescue has announced its role as the exclusive distributor of the ScoutPro system in the United States. The ScoutPro, developed by Bausch + Lomb, consists of osmolarity test cards and control solutions designed to help healthcare providers accurately diagnose dry eye disease. This announcement comes as a culmination of several years of collaboration between DryEye Rescue and Bausch + Lomb, focusing on over-the-counter products and now extending into diagnostic solutions through DryEye Rescue's RX division.
Understanding ScoutPro
Tear osmolarity measurement is a crucial aspect of assessing the ocular surface. It has long been regarded as a reliable objective measure, especially beneficial for clinical decisions in two key circumstances: pre-operative evaluations for cataract and refractive surgery and routine dry eye management. The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) highlights the importance of osmolarity tests in identifying clinically significant ocular surface diseases. By utilizing ScoutPro, eye care practitioners can gain essential insights to guide their therapeutic strategies effectively.
ScoutPro stands out due to its user-friendly design. The portable device allows for data collection and analysis with a single handheld pen, delivering results within seconds from a minimal tear sample. This feature makes it possible to assess even the driest eyes without requiring extensive preparations or invasive procedures. Moreover, test cards from ScoutPro are compatible with the first-generation TearLab system, ensuring that existing users can seamlessly integrate the new testing method into their established workflows without disruption.
