Atypical manifestation of upper lid margin staining in silicone hydrogel lens wearers with symptoms of dry eye
Abstract
PURPOSE: To report an atypical manifestation of upper lid margin staining (ULMS) that occurred in adapted silicone hydrogel (SH) contact lens wearers who complained of ocular surface dryness.
METHODS: Sequential staining with sodium fluorescein (FL) and lissamine green (LG) strips was performed in 38 SH lens wearers. The "wiper area" of the upper lid was examined with the slit lamp, at 8x and 12x magnifications.
