Purpose: To clarify meibomian gland (MG) alterations in atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) patients and compare the findings with obstructive MG dysfunction (MGD) patients and control subjects using in vivo confocal microscopy (CM).
Design: Prospective, controlled, single-center study.
Participants: Twelve AKC patients (10 males, 2 females; mean age, 31.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, sensitivity and specificity of confocal microscopy (CM) parameters: meibomian gland (MG) acinar longest diameter (MGALD), MG acinar shortest diameter (MGASD), inflammatory cell density (ICD), and MG acinar unit density (MGAUD) in the diagnosis of MG dysfunction (MGD).
Design: Prospective, controlled, single-center study.
Participants: Twenty MGD patients (9 males, 11 females; mean age, 63.
Purpose: To elucidate the status of the conjunctival inflammation in atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) using laser scanning confocal microscopy and compare the relevant findings with conjunctival brush cytology in a prospective controlled study.
Methods: Twenty eyes from 20 AKC patients as well as 16 eyes from 16 age and sex matched normal subjects were studied. The subjects underwent tear film break-up time (BUT), fluorescein and Rose Bengal staining of the ocular surface, conjunctival confocal microscopy, Schirmer test, and brush cytology.
Objective: To elucidate the morphologic alterations of the cornea in atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) using confocal microscopy (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II-Rostock Cornea Module: HRT-II RCM).
Design: Prospective comparative study.
Participants: We studied 21 right eyes of 21 AKC patients (11 males, 10 females; mean age, 26.
Purpose: To elucidate the morphological alterations of the conjunctiva in atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) using the new generation Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (HRT II)/Rostock Cornea Module confocal microscope in a prospective controlled study.
Methods: Sixteen eyes from AKC patients (eight males, mean age: 20.3+/-5.
