Description
Dry Eye Analyzer DEA 520 (MediWorks) for Ophthalmology Clinics & Dry Eye Centres
Mediscience offers the MediWorks DEA 520 Dry Eye Analyzer, a comprehensive ocular diagnostic system developed to bring dry eye assessment and corneal topography together in a single platform. Designed for modern ophthalmology clinics and eye-care practices, the DEA 520 supports detailed evaluation of the tear film, meibomian glands, ocular surface and corneal morphology.
The system combines Placido ring-based corneal topography with a multi-illumination imaging system, using white, infrared and cobalt blue illumination for different examination requirements. Its diagnostic workflow includes non-invasive tear breakup time (NIBUT), tear meniscus height, meibomian gland analysis, conjunctival redness assessment, lipid layer evaluation and fluorescein-based corneal staining, alongside corneal topography and pupil/corneal diameter measurements.
With 50 Placido rings and thousands of measurement points, the DEA 520 is designed to generate detailed visual information for dry eye evaluation and corneal assessment. Automatic OD/OS recognition, real-time visualisation, and reporting help streamline examinations and clinical documentation.
The integrated 10.1-inch touchscreen and built-in computer provide an all-in-one operating and reporting interface, making the DEA 520 suitable for dedicated dry eye clinics as well as ophthalmology practices incorporating ocular surface diagnostics into routine patient assessment.

Why Choose the MediWorks DEA 520 from Mediscience?
The DEA 520 brings several ocular surface assessment functions together with corneal topography, making it possible to evaluate different aspects of the ocular surface within one diagnostic workflow.
Its combination of Placido-ring topography and multi-spectrum illumination provides flexibility for both corneal morphology and dry eye-related imaging. The integrated touchscreen and computer further simplify image viewing and reporting, while automatic eye recognition can help streamline routine examinations.
For clinics developing a dedicated dry eye diagnostic and treatment workflow, the DEA 520 can serve as a centralised platform for documenting tear-film, meibomian gland, conjunctival and corneal findings.
Mediscience supplies ophthalmic diagnostic and imaging equipment for hospitals, eye clinics, ophthalmologists, optometrists and institutional healthcare buyers, with B2B procurement support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dry eye can involve abnormalities in tear-film stability and ocular surface function. Assessing tear-film behaviour provides additional information beyond a patient's symptoms and can contribute to a more structured ocular surface evaluation.
Non-invasive tear breakup time (NIBUT) assesses how long the tear film remains stable after a blink without requiring fluorescein. It is one of the measurements that can contribute to dry eye assessment.
The meibomian glands produce oils that form part of the tear-film lipid layer. Changes in meibomian gland structure or function can be associated with evaporative dry eye, making gland assessment useful in ocular surface evaluation.
Corneal topography maps the shape and surface characteristics of the cornea. Combining topography with dry eye assessment can provide additional information about corneal morphology and ocular surface status.
