Clinical Factors for Determining the Severity of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy in Dry Eye

Cornea, 2021
Purpose: Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is an epitheliopathy of the marginal conjunctival portion of the eyelids that wipes the ocular surface during blinking. Although LWE is often observed in patients with dry eye, the factors determining LWE severity in dry eye remain unknown.

Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy and Dry Eye Symptoms

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2005
The lid wiper is defined as that portion of the marginal conjunctiva of the upper eyelid that wipes the ocular surface during blinking. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether lid wiper epitheliopathy occurred with patients who reported dry eye symptoms, yet had normal fluorescein breakup time (FBUT) and Schirmer test values and an absence

Involvement of Eyelid Pressure in Lid-Wiper Epitheliopathy

Current Eye Research, 2015
To determine whether eyelid pressure is involved in the development of lid-wiper epitheliopathy (LWE).Study 1: The eyelid pressure was measured with a blepharo-tensiometer, and the degree of LWE was assessed in 79 eyes of 43 non-contact lens (CL) wearers.

Prevalence of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy in Subjects With Dry Eye Signs and Symptoms

Cornea, 2010
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) in patients diagnosed with dry eye disease (DED).Patients were recruited for two groups. Inclusion criteria for the DED group (n = 50) was: a score greater than 10 with the Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness questionnaire, fluorescein break-up time 5 ...

Lid-Wiper Epitheliopathy in Contact Lens Users and Patients With Dry Eye

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2010
To evaluate lid-wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) in contact lens users and in patients with symptoms characteristic of dry eye but with normal dry-eye tests and to compare the results with those of controls.One hundred fifty-five patients were enrolled in the study and were divided into three groups. The first group included 69 contact lens users, the second

Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy: Topical Review of Current Identification Strategies and Future Perspectives

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye
Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy (LWE) is a recognized ocular condition affecting visual quality and ocular comfort, characterized by the damage of the marginal conjunctiva of the upper eyelid. This review critically examines the current strategies for LWE identification and explores the multifactorial etiology of LWE and its association with various ocular ...

Prevalence of Upper- and Lower-Lid-Wiper Epitheliopathy in Contact Lens Wearers and Non-wearers

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2014
To report lid-wiper epitheliopathy (LWE)-like staining at the lower eyelid margin (lower-LWE) and to determine the prevalence of LWE (upper-LWE) and lower-LWE in contact lens (CL) wearers and non-CL wearers.Four hundred forty-three eyes of 229 non-CL wearers, 405 eyes of 208 soft CL wearers, and 135 eyes of 71 rigid gas permeable CL wearers were ...

Variations in observable lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) staining patterns in wearers of silicone hydrogel lenses

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2015
Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is believed to be an early sign of cular irritation, which is clinically observed through vital staining f the upper and lower lidmargin regions [1–3]. In the healthy eye, he lidmargin regionsare in closeproximity to theglobe [4], and the pper lid in particular executes a “wiping motion” during blinking 5].

Incomplete Blinking: Exposure Keratopathy, Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy, Dry Eye, Refractive Surgery, and Dry Contact Lenses

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2007
Exposure keratopathy, including that which occurs following laser assisted keratomileusis, appears to be associated with incomplete blinking. Incomplete blinking may contribute to the signs and symptoms of lid wiper epitheliopathy. In addition, precipitation of contact lens surface deposits and other contact lens surface drying phenomena, appear to be ...
