Corneal permeability changes in dry eye disease: an observational study
BACKGROUND Diagnostic tests for dry eye disease (DED), including ocular surface disease index (OSDI), tear breakup time (TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, and lissamine staining, have great deal of variability. We investigated whether fluorophotometry correlated with previously established DED diagnostic tests and whether it could serve as a novel objective metric to evaluate DED. METHODS ...
متن کاملIn Vivo 3-dimensional corneal epithelial thickness mapping as an indicator of dry eye: preliminary clinical assessment.
PURPOSE To evaluate in vivo epithelial thickness in dry eye by anterior segment optical coherence tomography. DESIGN Observational, retrospective case-control study. METHODS Two age-matched groups of female subjects, 70 eyes each, age ≈ 55 years, were studied in clinical practice setting: a control (unoperated, no ocular pathology) and a dry eye group (clinically confirmed dry eye, unoperat...
متن کاملCorrelation between Corneal Endothelial Cell Characteristics and Dry Eye Disease
Purpose: To correlate corneal endothelium cell density with dry eye disease compared to an age-matched control group. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 150 eyes of 75 female students aged 19-25 years who did not have any history of eye injuries or eye disease affecting the corneal endothelium cell density, were recruited from KSU Female Campus. They were divided i...
متن کاملDifferences in Central Corneal Thickness between Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography and Ultrasound Pachymetry in Patients with Dry Eye Disease
Purpose. To compare central corneal thickness (CCT) values via Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) and ultrasonic pachymetry in patients with severe dry eye disease (DED) to determine the level of agreement between these 2 methods. Methods. The paired samples t-test was used to compare CCT values in severe DED patients. Matching analysis between methods was performed using int...
متن کاملChanges in corneal epithelial layer inflammatory cells in aqueous tear-deficient dry eye.
PURPOSE To investigate the morphology, distribution, and density of inflammatory cells in the corneal epithelium of aqueous tear-deficient dry eye. METHODS Thirty-two patients with non-Sjögren's syndrome (NSS) dry eye, 14 patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) dry eye, and 33 healthy volunteers were studied. In vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to investigate both Langerhans cel...
