The use of tear ferning test in cats for evaluation of ocular surface.
Veloso JF, Oriá AP, Raposo ACS, Lacerda AJ, Silva CVB, Lima LF, Carlos RSA. Veloso JF, et al. Acta Vet Scand. 2020 May 26;62(1):23. doi: 10.1186/s13028-020-00523-5. Acta Vet Scand. 2020. PMID: 32456655 Free PMC article.
While the Rolando scale showed an increased prevalence of types I and II, the Masmali scale showed an increased prevalence of grades 1 and 2. This can be attributed to the species-specific differences between human and feline tear film. So Masmali grade 2 can be con …

Diagnosis of Photokeratitis by Tear Ferning Using a Novel Set of SK Grading Criteria in a UVB-Induced Mouse Model.
Chen KK, Hsieh SM, Chang HH, Lin DP. Chen KK, et al. Transl Vis Sci Technol. 2023 Jun 1;12(6):25. doi: 10.1167/tvst.12.6.25. Transl Vis Sci Technol. 2023. PMID: 37367718 Free PMC article.
METHODS: The tear sample was collected from the UVB-induced photokeratitis eyes and processed for TF formation. The TF patterns were graded by both the Masmali and a Sophie-Kevin (SK) grading criteria, a new set of criteria modified from the Masmali grading, for dif …

Investigation of Ocular Tear Ferning in Controlled and Uncontrolled Diabetic Subjects.
Masmali AM, Maeni YA, El-Hiti GA, Murphy PJ, Almubrad T. Masmali AM, et al. Eye Contact Lens. 2018 Nov;44 Suppl 2:S70-S75. doi: 10.1097/ICL.0000000000000419. Eye Contact Lens. 2018. PMID: 28945647
The glass slides were observed using a digital microscopy and the tear ferning (TF) patterns observed were graded based on Masmali TF grading scale. Patients with a HbA1c value below 6.5% were defined as "controlled DM" and those with a HbA1c value above 6.5% were defined …

Comparison of Electrolyte Composition and Crystallization Patterns in Bird and Reptile Tears.
Oriá AP, Lacerda AJ, Raposo ACS, Araújo NLLC, Portela R, Mendonça MA, Masmali AM. Oriá AP, et al. Front Vet Sci. 2020 Aug 13;7:574. doi: 10.3389/fvets.2020.00574. eCollection 2020. Front Vet Sci. 2020. PMID: 32903625 Free PMC article.
For the tear ferning test, samples of each species were observed under a polarized light microscope at room temperature and humidity. Crystallization patterns were graded according Rolando and Masmali scales. There was more total protein and urea in owl and sea turtle tear …

Evaluation of lacrimal production, osmolarity, crystallization, proteomic profile, and biochemistry of capuchin monkeys' tear film.
Raposo AC, Portela RD, Masmali A, Cardoso-Brito V, Bernardo M, Oliveira DC, Oriá AP. Raposo AC, et al. J Med Primatol. 2018 Dec;47(6):371-378. doi: 10.1111/jmp.12368. Epub 2018 Jul 24. J Med Primatol. 2018. PMID: 30039860
Strip meniscometry test (SMT), osmolarity, and tear ferning test (TFT) (by Rolando and Masmali scales) were assessed. Tear protein profile (SDS-PAGE), and total protein, albumin, urea, glucose, and cholesterol levels in tear film and blood serum were screened. RESULTS: Med …
