In Vivo 3-Dimensional Corneal Epithelial Thickness Mapping as an Indicator of Dry Eye: Preliminary Clinical Assessment

This study, based on very user-friendly, novel AS-OCT imaging, indicates increased epithelial thickness in dry eyes. The ease of use and the improved predictability offered by AS-OCT epithelial imaging may be a significant clinical advantage. Augmented epithelial thickness in the suspect cases may be employed as an objective clinical indicator of dry eye.
