Abstract
Ocular surface cytologic analysis is a simple, safe, and relatively noninvasive diagnostic tool. It was found helpful in detecting dysplasia before surgical resection. It was used in the settings of recurrent tumor and for follow-up care of patients treated with topical chemotherapy. Although cytologic smears cannot replace incisional or excisional biopsy for definitive diagnosis, exfoliative cytologic analysis can play an important role in the diagnosis and management of patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia.
