Working principle and relevant physical properties of the Swiss Liquid Jet Aesthesiometer for Corneal Sensitivity (SLACS) evaluation

Abstract

Swiss Liquid Jet Aesthesiometer for Corneal Sensitivity was shown to deliver fine droplets with a pulsed stimulus mode, in a repeatable manner with precise localisation to the ocular surface. Very little variability was observed in LJ speed and mass for the typical pressure range required for clinical sensitivity measurements.
