| Abstract: |
Distinguish between EDE severity levels by analysing the MGLA, conjunctival hyperemia and corneal staining. One hundred participants were recruited based on OSDI, TO, TFBUT, TMH, and LLP to be categorised as healthy (Group 1) or EDE (Group 2). Group 2 was divided into Group 2A (mild symptoms), 2B (moderate), and 2C (severe). MGLA, conjunctival hyperemia, and corneal staining were measured. Positive correlation between MGLA, conjunctival hyperemia, and corneal staining were found (all r ≥ 0.221, p ≤ 0.027). Significant differences were found: MGLA between Group 1 vs. 2C and 2C vs. 2A or 2B; conjunctival hyperemia between Group 1 vs. 2A, 2B or 2C; corneal staining between Group 1 vs. 2B or 2C and 2A vs. 2B or 2C (all p ≤ 0.049). Severe EDE participants have higher MGLA, conjunctival hyperemia, and corneal staining values than healthy, mild, or moderate EDE participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
