OCT and dry eye syndrome

N°225 - Février 2019 —

Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial pathology involving tears and the ocular surface, which can cause lesions of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium. Previous studies have indicated several factors responsible for the proliferation and the differentiation of the conjunctival epithelium. However, little is known about the proliferation and other changes that may occur in the corneal epithelium. This study describes the correlation between morphological changes of the corneal epithelium and the different degrees of dry eye syndrome and effectiveness of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in ocular surface evaluation.
