Objective: The purpose of the present paper was to examine the changes in the break-up time (BUT) value of the staining procedure in the fluorescein BUT test. Material and Methods: The natural BUT values of the participants were determined with a non-invasive BUT (NI-BUT) test. Then, the changes in the tears were re-evaluated with the topographic break-up test method after the staining procedure was simulated with strips that mimicked fluorescein staining but did not contain fluorescein. The BUT test performed after the staining simulation was named sham-hybrid BUT test (SHBUT). Between the two tests, the first BUT value (BUT1st), the second BUT value (BUT2nd), the third BUT value (BUT3rd), the fourth BUT value (BUT4th), the fifth BUT value (BUT5th), and the average value of the first 3 break-ups (BUTA3) were compared. Results: Although the mean BUT1st value in NI-BUT test was found to be 4.4±2.2 seconds, it was 9.4±5.1 seconds in the SH-BUT test (p=0.000). Mean values of BUT2nd, BUT3rd, BUT4th, BUT5th and BUTA3 parameters in NI-BUT and SH-BUT tests were found to be 5.2±2.3 and 10.6±4.9 (p=0.000); 5.9±3.1 and 11.9±4.7 (p=0.000); 6.4±3.1 and 12.5±4.4 (p=0.000); 6.8±1 and 12.9±4.3 (p=0.000) and 5.2±2.4 and 10.6±4.8 seconds (p=0.000) respectively. All parameters were found to be longer in the SH-BUT test at statistically significant levels. Conclusion: The staining procedure for the fluorescein BUT test causes a prolongation of the BUT test. It is important to consider the changes in BUT because of these effects when performing the fluorescein BUT test.

Amaç: Flöresein gözyaşı kırılma zamanı (F-GKZ) testindeki boyama prosedürü için oküler yüzeye temasın GKZ değerlerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Katılımcıların doğal GKZ değerleri invaziv olmayan GKZ ile saptandı. Ardından flöresein boyamasını taklit edecek şekilde, ancak flöresein içermeyen striplerle, boyama prosedürü simüle edildikten sonra gözyaşında oluşan değişimleri topografik GKZ testi ile tekrar değerlendirdik. Boyama simülasyonu sonrası yapılan topografik GKZ testine sham-hybrid GKZ testi (SH-GKZ) dedik. İki test arasında ilk GKZ değeri (GKZilk), ikinci GKZ değeri (GKZikinci), üçüncü GKZ değeri (GKZüçüncü), dördüncü GKZ değeri (GKZdördüncü), beşinci GKZ değeri (GKZbeşinci) ve ilk 3 GKZ'nin ortalama değeri (GKZ3 ortalama) karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: İnvaziv olmayan GKZ testindeki ortalama GKZilk değeri 4,4±2,2 sn iken, SH-GKZ testindeki bu değer 9,4±5,1 sn olarak bulundu (p=0,000). GKZ (ikinci) parametresinin invaziv olmayan GKZ testindeki ortalama değeri 5,2±2,3 sn iken, SH-GKZ testindeki bu değer 10,6±4,9 sn olarak saptandı (p=0,000). GKZüçüncü, GKZdördüncü, GKZbeşinci parametrelerinin invaziv olmayan GKZ testindeki ve SH-GKZ testindeki değerleri sırasıyla 5,9±3,1 ve 11,9±4,7sn (p=0,000); 6,4±3,1 ve 12,5±4,4 sn (p=0,000); 6,8±3,1 ve 12,9±4,3 sn (p=0,000) olarak saptandı. GKZ3 ortalama parametresinin invaziv olmayan GKZ testindeki ortalama değeri 5,2±2,4 sn olarak saptandı buna karşın SH-GKZ testindeki bu parametrenin ortalama değeri 10,6±4,8 sn (p=0,000) olarak saptandı. Tüm parametreler SH-GKZ testinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde daha uzundu. Sonuç: F-GKZ testindeki boyama prosedürü GKZ değerlerinde uzamaya neden olmaktadır. F-GKZ testi yapılırken GKZ değerlerindeki bu değişimler dikkate alınmalıdır.
