Optimal Methodology for Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy Identification [PDF]

open access: yesContact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2021
Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is a clinical sign that has been associated with dry eye disease. This study used a semi-automated method to identify the effect of drop instillation and post-dye viewing time on the absorption of lissamine green (LG) and sodium fluorescein (NaFl) on the upper eyelid in order to ascertain the optimal identification for ...

Development and Validation of a New Photographic Scale to Grade Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy

open access: yesContact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2023
Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is a clinical sign that has been associated with dry eye disease (DED) and contact lens discomfort (CLD). This study describes the development, validation and graders' preference of a new photographic scale for LWE, the Photographic Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy (PLWE) scale.The PLWE grading scale was developed using LWE ...

Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy

open access: yesProgress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2016
Some recent research has resulted in a hypothesis that there is a common 'lid wiper' region that is apposite to the ocular surface or anterior lens surface (where contact lenses are worn), responsible for spreading tears during blinking. In the upper eyelid, it extends about 0.6 mm from the crest of the sharp posterior (inner) lid border (i.e.

Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy: The Influence of Multiple Lid Eversions and Exposure Time

open access: yesContact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2019
To investigate the effect of multiple lid eversions on lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE), along with the effect of cumulative lid exposure time and the patterns of associated staining.The increase in area of lid wiper staining with lissamine green was compared by everting both the upper eyelids of each subject (i.e.

Natural Course of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy (LWE) in Symptomatic Contact Lens Wearers [PDF]

open access: yesContact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2022
To establish the time course of lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) in established CL wearers after a single day (6-10 h) of daily disposable contact lens (CL) wear, the following day post-CL removal and 1-week after CL discontinuation.Twenty-one symptomatic (CLDEQ-8 score ≥ 12) habitual wearers of MyDay® silicone hydrogel daily disposable were included ...

Comparison of Subjective Grading of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy With a Semi-Objective Method [PDF]

open access: yesContact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2018
To validate a semi-objective method of grading lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) compared to subjective assessment.Twenty upper and 20 lower eyelid margins of patients with LWE were photographed after instillation of fluorescein and lissamine green. The images were graded by two observers using a 0-3 grading scale for height (%) and width (mm) of the lid ...

Cytomorphological Assessment of the Lid Margin in Relation to Symptoms, Contact Lens Wear and Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy

Ocular Surface, 2020
Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is insufficiently understood from a cytological perspective. This study explored the relationship between lid margin cytomorphology, LWE, contact lens wear, and lens-related symptoms.Habitual, symptomatic (n = 20) and asymptomatic (n = 20) soft, rigid gas permeable (n = 18) and non-contact lens wearers (n = 19) were ...

Lid wiper epitheliopathy: Current knowledge and future directions

Journal of Cornea and Ocular Surface, 2023
Abstract Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is a recently recognized clinical entity that involves the epithelial cells lining the lid wiper region of the upper and lower eyelids. LWE has gained attention in the field of ophthalmology due to its association with ocular discomfort, especially in contact lens wearers and individuals with dry eye ...
