Objectives: We had two objectives: (1) to investigate differences in tear film and blink parameters in patients with six ocular surface diseases (OSD): ocular graft versus host disease (oGVHD), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), lax eyelid syndrome, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), obstructive sleep apnea, and dry eye disease; and (2) to characterize the relationships between lipid layer thickness (LLT), meiboscore, Schirmer I test, and three blink parameters: partial blink rate (PBR), interblink interval (IBI), and interpalpebral fissure height (IPFH) in this group of patients.
Methods: This is a single-site retrospective analysis of 228 patients (456 eyes) with six different primary OSD at Loyola University Medical Center between January 2018 and July 2020. Objective parameters included: LLT, IBI, PBR, IPFH, Pult meiboscore, and Schirmer I score.
