摘要：
Measurement of the absolute value of the humidity of the cornea of the human eye and its dynamics is of paramount importance for the preservation of eyesight. In the present paper we have demonstrated that terahertz technologies can be practically applied for quantitative measurement of the physiological dynamics of tear film and sensing of corneal tissue hydration. We suggest uses of the equipment for application in clinics and a method for absolute calibration of the values for measurement. The proposed method is fundamentally different from existing and currently available methods of ophthalmological diagnosis. This suggests that the developed technique may have high diagnostic significance and can be used in the study and treatment of several diseases of the ocular surface.
