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.

Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy in Soft Contact Lens Wearers

Optometry and Vision Science, 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) in soft contact lens (SCL) wearers on initial presentation and after using various SCL and solution combinations. Methods LWE was assessed in 253 habitual ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lid wiper epitheliopathy, ocular surface and tear film in symptomatic contact lens wearers

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2008
Abstract Purpose Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) as well as lid parallel conjunctival folds (LIPCOF) are related to dry eye symptoms in contact lens weares and are thought to be caused by mechanical forces during blinking. This study investigates whether any correlations are detectable between LWE and LIPCOF and the ocular surface and tear film in soft ...

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 ...

[Lid-wiper epitheliopathy in patients with dry eye symptoms].

Nippon Ganka Gakkai zasshi, 2009
Lid-wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is characterized by one part of the marginal conjunctiva of the upper eyelid being affected and is correlated with dry eye symptoms. This is a study of the clinical features of LWE.Three hundred and sixty-four eyes of 182 patients with dry eye symptoms were studied.

Lid-wiper epitheliopathy and dry-eye symptoms in contact lens wearers.

The CLAO journal : official publication of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists, Inc, 2003
To evaluate whether dry-eye symptoms are associated with epitheliopathy of that portion of the upper eyelid marginal conjunctiva-the lid wiper-that wipes the ocular, or contact lens surface, during blinking.Subjects were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of dry-eye symptoms. The lid wiper of asymptomatic (n=75) and symptomatic (n=

[Preliminary observation the correlation between lid-wiper epitheliopathy and dry eye].

[Zhonghua yan ke za zhi] Chinese journal of ophthalmology, 2010
To investigate the prevalence of lid-wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) and risk factors in dry eye patients.One hundred forty-one patients (141 eyes) were recruited in Peking University First Hospital from September 2006 to March 2007. These patients were divided into three groups based on the dry eye symptoms and the results of break up time, Schirmer I test
