Claim 16:
17. A system for monitoring humidity in a periocular air space, comprising:
a headset configured to be worn on a face of a wearer, wherein the headset defines a periocular space separate from an ambient air volume;
a humidity sensor configured to measure a humidity within the periocular air space;
a humidity control element configured to modify the humidity within the periocular space; and
a processor configured to run an algorithm to:
receive the humidity measurement and, in response, control the humidity control element to modify the humidity within the periocular space into a known reference humidity; and
determine a standardized dry eye score while the headset is worn on the face of the wearer and the humidity within the periocular space is at the known reference humidity, wherein determining the standardized dry eye score includes taking a standardized dry eye reading at the known reference humidity, and the standardized dry eye reading relating to blinking of the eye, and the standardized dry eye score indicating a severity of a dry eye condition.
