Purpose: The Ocular Pain Assessment Survey (OPAS) has been used to quantify chronic ocular pain and quality of life (QOL). We aim to investigate the psychometric properties of individual OPAS items with the Rasch analysis in an Asian population of dry eye disease and neuropathic corneal pain (NCP).
Methods: Question responses were obtained from 196 patients; 138 with dry eye disease (DED) and 58 with NCP, at the Singapore National Eye Centre.
Purpose: To investigate and compare the quality of life (QoL) and symptomatology between neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) and dry eye disease (DED).
Methods: We recruited 150 patients, comprising 50 patients with NCP and 100 patients with DED. Patients' symptoms and QoL were evaluated using the Ocular Pain Assessment Survey and Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaires.
Purpose: To investigate the tear proteomic and neuromediator profiles, in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) imaging features, and clinical manifestations in neuropathic corneal pain (NCP) patients.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: A total of 20 NCP patients and 20 age-matched controls were recruited.
Article Synopsis
- A study looked at how well a computer program can use pictures of the eye to find a specific eye disease called Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD).
- The program was tested on many pictures and worked well, especially in finding FECD in the center of the eye, and even better for finding healthy cells in peripheral images.
- The findings suggest that this computer program could help eye doctors see how the disease changes over time and figure out who might need special treatments.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate age-related changes in corneal nerves and corneal epithelial cell parameters and to establish age-adjusted reference values.
Methods: A total of 7025 corneal nerve images and 4215 corneal epithelial images obtained using in vivo confocal microscopy from 281 eyes of 143 healthy participants were included. Seven corneal nerve parameters and 3 corneal epithelial cell parameters were quantified using 2 automatic analytic software and analyzed across 6 age groups ranging from 21 to 80 years.
