Clinical trials: Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy
Dry Eye
Optimization of Assessment and Grading for Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy
The purpose of this study is to assess eyelid margin staining, termed "lid wiper epitheliopathy" (LWE), in three populations. The hypothesis is LWE will be more prevalent in symptomatic contact lens wearers than non-symptomatic…

Treating Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy
Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) is a relatively new entry into the abundance of clinical ocular surface health signs. LWE was first reported in 2002 as a potential cause for dry eye disease (DED) (Korb et al., 2002).
