Popis: PURPOSE: To analyze the difference between measurements of Schirmer test I (ST I) and basal Schirmer test (STB) with open and closed eyes. METHODS: Sixty eyes of 30 normal volunteers, 12 males and 18 females aged 28 ± 9 years were recruited for the study. All ST were carried out in a closed environment with the absence of airflow (humidity 60 ± 2.34% and temperature 20.72 ± 1.52ºC). ST I and ST B were performed with the individuals' both eyes open and closed with an interval of 6 hours. All ST were conducted in 5 minutes. For statistical analysis, the ST strip's wetting velocity (ST V) (in millimeters per minute) was calculated, dividing the ST values by its wetting time. If ST values were 35mm before 5 minutes, wetting time was recorded to obtain ST V. RESULTS: ST V measurements of ST I performed with closed eyes (10.30 ± 11.55) were statistically different from those performed with open eyes (18.85 ± 17.88) and ST V measurements of STB performed with closed eyes (3.74 ± 3.14) were statistically different from those performed with open eyes (6.19 ± 5.86). CONCLUSION: ST performed with open or closed eyes can have an important influence in the results of ST I and STB in normal individuals.OBJETIVO: Analisar a diferença das medidas dos testes de Schirmer I e Schirmer basal realizados com os olhos abertos e olhos fechados. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados 60 olhos de 30 indivíduos normais com idade média de 28 ± 9 anos. A umidade média do ar foi de 60 ± 2,34% e a temperatura média de 20,72 ± 1,52ºC. No primeiro dia, foi feito o teste de Schirmer I com os olhos abertos. Após um intervalo de 6 horas, foi realizado o teste de Schirmer I com os olhos fechados. No segundo dia, foi realizado o mesmo procedimento com o teste de Schirmer basal. Para fins de comparação, as medidas das tiras de papel foram divididas pelo tempo de umedecimento das tiras (velocidade) para análise estatística. RESULTADOS:No teste de Schirmer I realizado com os olhos abertos, a medida de umedecimento das tiras mostrou ser estatisticamente maior quando comparado com a medida do mesmo teste realizado com olhos fechados (p
