Digitalización de un Borde del Patrón Geométrico Característico de la Película Lagrimal en Pacientes con Ojo Seco Evaporativo y Sin Alteraciones Lagrimales, a través del Método óptico de Detección de Bordes en Bucaramanga, 2023

Abstract

Objective: To digitize the pattern formed by crystallized tears in a patient with evaporative dry eye and without tear alteration, using digital image processing with MATLAB in patients treated at the Santo Tomás University clinic in 2023. Methodology: The work degree corresponds to line of research number two, collective health with emphasis on visual and ocular health, the aim is to digitize the pattern that forms the crystallized tear in a patient with evaporative eye and without tear alteration, using digital image processing with the MATLAB software in patients treated at the Santo Tomas University clinic in 2023. Results: It was possible to obtain 172 tear fern patterns, digitized with the MATLAB Software, and their respective commands, such as Sobel, Canny, Roberts among others. , were organized by folders and divided according to their quality and tear volume, in which patients without tear dysfunction and with evaporative dry eye type alteration were obtained, in both groups the female sex was more predominant, they are university students whose ages They range between 18-25 years old and 92% do not use a contraceptive method. Conclusion. It is evident that it is feasible to digitize the crystallized tear patterns through the MATLAB Software, but the images obtained cannot be interpreted according to the Masmali scale, since they correspond only to a fragment that omits important details for reading, which limits the clinical applicability of the results obtained.
