Ocular surface findings in patients with lichen planopilaris
Cornea Aug 12, 2018
Gheisari M, et al. - In this cross-sectional case -control study, researchers analyzed ocular surface findings in patients with lichen planopilaris (LPP) given eyelash follicle and meibomian gland (MG) might also be involved in the disease process leading to ocular surface problems. They analyzed 23 patients with histologically confirmed LPP and 23 healthy controls. Using the Lichen Planopilaris Activity Index, they quantified the signs and symptoms of LPP. The same ophthalmologist performed the ophthalmologic examination at Farabi Eye Hospital. They found that LPP patients scored worse in ocular surface tests. This finding warrants special scrutiny for dry eye and MG dysfunction in these patients.
