Abstract:
A tear glucose measuring device includes a tear glucose test strip ( 101 ) and a reaction device, wherein the tear glucose test strip ( 101 ) is used for collecting tears which are then subjected to an elution reaction with a glucose assay reagent contained in the reaction device. With this device, a user can collect tears by himself by folding a leading portion ( 1014 ) of the tear glucose test strip ( 101 ) about a folding line ( 1021 ) and inserting the leading portion ( 1014 ) into the lower conjunctival sac inside the lower eyelid to allow the absorbance of tears therein. If tear glucose test strips ( 101 ) of the same lot are consistent in terms of thickness of a moisture-absorbent layer of the leading portion ( 1014 ), as long as a tear collection region ( 1020 ) of the leading portion ( 1014 ) has a fixed area, the leading portion ( 1014 ) can collect a quantitative amount of tears. As such, tears can be sampled without needing to stimulate the lacrimal gland, and glucose in the collected tears will not be diluted and thus reflect the patient's true tear glucose level.

Claim (Index 14):
The tear glucose measuring device according to  claim 9 , wherein the reaction device is a horseshoe-shaped fluorescence plate defining a pocket, a first reservoir and a second reservoir, the first reservoir in communication with a bottom of the pocket via a first channel, the second reservoir in communication with the bottom of the pocket via a second channel, and wherein the leading portion of the tear glucose test strip is insertable into the bottom of the pocket.
