Development of a pendulum machine for measuring contact lens friction
Biosurface and Biotribology, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 154-161, September 2021., 2021 Abstract The lubrication ability of a contact lens is one of its most essential properties because high friction on an eyelid causes discomfort during blinking. Friction measurements allow assessment of lubrication ability. So far, several apparatuses have been developed to measure contact lens friction.

Ocular surface changes in mild and moderate myopes differing in duration of soft contact lens wear
Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018 Background: Contact lenses (CL) are widely prescribed for various indications. A rather high incidence of severe complications in CL wearers necessitates a deeper and more detailed investigation of CL-associated ocular surface changes with duration of ...

The Relationship of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy to Ocular Surface Signs and Symptoms
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2018 There has been interest in determining whether lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) plays a key role in causing ocular discomfort. Conflicting reports have made it difficult to discern whether LWE is more prevalent in certain populations, what characteristics are associated with its severity, and what its role is in symptomology.

Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Purpose. The Dry Eye‐Related Quality‐of‐Life Score (DEQS) is a Japanese dry eye‐specific questionnaire that has been used to assess the symptoms of dry eye and their effects on the quality of life (QOL) in Japanese individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of rebamipide (RBM) on the QOL of Japanese patients with dry eye disease

Biosurface and Biotribology, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 167-175, November 2024.Abstract Friction between the contact lens (CL) and the corneal or conjunctival surfaces is considered one of key factors in triggering CL‐associated adverse effects. However, the relationship between friction properties and these effects remains unclear. Traditional measurement methods often fail to replicate real‐life conditions, thereby highlighting

Development of a dry eye index as a new biomarker of dry eye disease
Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 44, Issue 7, Page 1472-1483, November 2024.Abstract Purpose To evaluate signs and symptoms in patients diagnosed with dry eye disease (DED), divided into dry eye (DE) groups, in order to find a new biomarker that allows an accurate diagnosis, management and classification of DED. Methods This cross‐sectional, observational study included 71 DED subjects.

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 102, Issue 5, Page e663-e671, August 2024.Abstract Purpose Lubricant eye drops are the main therapeutic resource for dry eye disease (DED), with each drop representing the equivalent of ocular surface disease treatment. Thus, any reduction in the frequency of eye drop application reflects a degree of therapeutic success.
