Abstract: The present invention provides a method, wherein the method classifies a subject as suffering from dry eye, the method consisting of: a. obtaining demographic data, consisting of the age and gender of the subject; b. obtaining a tear sample from the patient, and determining the level of human serum albumin; c. from the determined level of human serum albumin, assigning a score for the determined amount of human serum albumin; and d. from the assigned score, calculating a cutoff probability score, according to the following equation: exp ? ( - 0.6491 - 1.1142 * Albumin ) 1 + exp ? ( - 0.6491 - 1.1142 * Albumin ) wherein the subject has dry eye, if the calculated cutoff probability score is from 50% to 60%.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is a method for diagnosing Dry Eye Syndrome by quantifying an amount of at least two markers in a tear sample collected from a subject, wherein the at least two markers are selected from the group consisting of: Human Serum Albumin (HSA), mucin, lactoferrin, and lysozyme. In some embodiments, the method is a multi-assay test.

Abstract: A device, system and method for portable fluorescence detection. The portable device of the present invention features a low power light, in which a wavelength range is defined as at least one wavelength of light. The light source is preferably highly energy efficient, such that a majority of the electrical power which is consumed is then converted into transmitted light. The emitted light from the excited fluorophore is then preferably detected with any low cost and low power photodetector. Although optionally a highly sensitive optical detector may be used, preferably fluorescence is detected with any light sensing device, such as a regular photodiode or a CCD (charge-coupled device) sensor for example.
