The purpose of this study was to establish the normal values of strip meniscometry (SM) as a lacrimal function test and to compare the results with Schirmer tear test I (STT I) in dogs, cats, and rabbits.
Sixty healthy adult dogs from twelve different breeds (120 eyes), twenty adult healthy domestic shorthair cats (40 eyes) and eighteen adult healthy New Zealand white rabbits (36 eyes) were used in this study.
Lacrimal function was tested by SM tube in all animals. After 24 h at the same time of day, tear production was measured using STT I.
Mean SM and STT I values for all of the dogs, cats, and rabbits were 9.66 ± 2.15 mm/5 s and 15.10 ± 3.06 mm/min; 10.50 ± 0.7 mm/5 s and 11.00 ± 1.41 mm/min; 4.72 ± 1.20 mm/5 s and 4.22 ± 2.47 mm/min, respectively. There was a correlation (r = 0.281; P = 0.018) between SM and STT I values in dogs, but no correlation was observed in cats and rabbits (P = 0.61, P = 0.06). No correlation was found between age of animals and obtained SM values in each species (P > 0.29). Sex had no effect on SM values in each species (P > 0.08).
The result of this study provided the normal clinical values of strip meniscometry as lacrimal function test in three species.
本研究旨在确定作为泪液功能测试的泪液新月形测量法（SM）的正常值，并将结果与犬、猫和兔的Schirmer泪液试验I（STT I）进行比较。
本研究使用了来自12个不同品种的60只健康成年犬（120只眼）、20只成年健康家养短毛猫（40只眼）和18只成年健康新西兰白兔（36只眼）。
所有动物均使用SM管进行泪液功能测试。在一天中的同一时间24小时后，使用STT I测量泪液分泌量。
所有犬、猫和兔的SM和STT I的平均值分别为9.66±2.15毫米/5秒和15.10±3.06毫米/分钟；10.50±0.7毫米/5秒和11.00±1.41毫米/分钟；4.72±1.20毫米/5秒和4.22±2.47毫米/分钟。犬的SM和STT I值之间存在相关性（r = 0.281；P = 0.018），但猫和兔未观察到相关性（P = 0.61，P = 0.06）。在每个物种中，未发现动物年龄与获得的SM值之间存在相关性（P>0.29）。性别对每个物种的SM值均无影响（P>0.08）。
本研究结果提供了泪液新月形测量法作为三种物种泪液功能测试的正常临床值。
