Topical rebamipide improves lid wiper epitheliopathy
Administration of topical rebamipide increases the mucin level of tear film and improves the ocular surface in short break-up time type of dry eye. Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is a disorder of the marginal conjunctiva of the upper eyelid with dry eye symptoms. LWE may be related to mechanical forces during blinking resulting in inflammation of the ocular surface. Rebamipide also has various ...
متن کاملDual-Polymer Drops, Contact Lens Comfort, and Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy
PURPOSE This study compared a new contact lens rewetting drop containing both carboxymethylcellulose and hyaluronic acid (CMC-HA) with a standard drop containing carboxymethylcellulose only (CMC). Symptoms of discomfort typical in lens wear and lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) were assessed over a 3-month period in a diverse sample of contact lens wearers. METHODS Adapted daily-wear contact len...
متن کاملIncomplete blinking: exposure keratopathy, lid wiper epitheliopathy, dry eye, refractive surgery, and dry contact lenses.
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 accelerated by incomplete blinking. For the...
متن کاملLid-wiper epitheliopathy and dry-eye symptoms in contact lens wearers.
PURPOSE 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. METHODS 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=30) soft contact lens w...
متن کاملThe lid wiper and muco-cutaneous junction anatomy of the human eyelid margins: an in vivo confocal and histological study.
The inner border of the eyelid margin is critically important for ocular surface integrity because it guarantees the thin spread of the tear film. Its exact morphology in the human is still insufficiently known. The histology in serial sections of upper and lower lid margins in whole-mount specimens from 10 human body donors was compared to in vivo confocal microscopy of eight eyes with a Heide...
