Meniscometry is a non-invasive technique for measuring tear meniscus curvature.
The system consists of a camera and a target with a series of fl and white strips that are oriented parallel with the axis of the lower tear meniscus.

 Comparison of the effects of topical levobunolol and timolol solution on the human ocular surface.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study population consisted of 14 healthy volunteers.
To obtain pretreatment baseline values, we determined the radius of the tear meniscus (RTM) by meniscometry; the noninvasive breakup time (NIBUT) of the precorneal tear film with a tear specular microscope; and corneal fluorescein uptake with a fluorophotometer.
Levobunolol hydrochloride (0.5%) or timolol maleate solution (0.5%) was instilled twice daily for 4 weeks into 1 eye; the contralateral eye was treated with the other topical drug twice daily for the same period.
