The accuracy of Schimer I and TBUT is 0.952with 100% sensitivity, 50% specificity, 95% positive predictive value (PPV) and 100%negative predictive value (NPV), the accuracy of TBUT and Ferning is 0.881 with90.2% sensitivity, 0% specificity , positive predictive value (PPV) 97.4% and negativepredictive value (NPV) 0% while the accuracy of Ferning and Schimer I was 0.928with a sensitivity of 97.5%, specificity of 0%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 95.1%and negative predictive value (NPV) 0%. Conclusion: Schimer I test is more accurateto use as a predictor of dry eye in postoperative cataract patients than Ferning andTBUT]]>
