Our findings highlight the lack of standardization among different brands of Schirmer strips, raising concerns about potential sources of unintentional measurement errors. We propose volume-based Schirmer strip calibration methods and conversion of millimeter to microliter results to achieve brand-independent results and improve Schirmer test accuracy.
