Glassy corneal striae (GCS) are fine colorless lines that run parallel to each other in the central cornea in a vertical or near-vertical direction at the level of Descemet’s membrane. GCS differ from Vogt’s striae as observed in keratoconus, vertical striae associated with contact lens-induced corneal edema, diabetes-associated striae, and idiopathic …

Vertical corneal striae distributed across the posterior cornea are one of the objective signs of clinically unacceptable corneal swelling (greater than 6%) resulting from contact lens wear. This study reports that corneal striae are repeatable both in configuration and location with different levels of hypoxia. In most instances entoptic ...

Three subjects also wore gel lenses and developed vertical striae while wearing their lenses. These striae were eliminated by increasing the oxygen concentration at the anterior lens surface. The data confirm many clinical observations which have suggested that verical striae are caused by corneal edema accompanying gel lens wear.

Glassy corneal striae (GCS) are fine colorless lines that run parallel to each other in a vertical or near-vertical orientation in the central cornea near the level of Descemet’s membrane. It is postulated that GCS “brace” the stroma, thus adding stability to the cornea. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of GCS in patients with “normal” corneas and to …

Striae and folds that appear during overnight contact lens wear are a function of the oxygen transmissibility of the lens and the oxygen uptake rate of the cornea. Grades of edema can be assigned. 2 Posterior striae indicate an acute change in corneal thickness.

Vertical corneal striae distributed across the posterior cornea are one of the objective signs of clinically unacceptable corneal swelling (greater than 6%) resulting from contact lens wear. This study reports that corneal striae are repeatable both in configuration and location with different levels of hypoxia.

2003年5月1日 · Fitting the Irregular Cornea. Use contact lenses to visually rehabilitate irregular corneas caused by surgery or disease. Contact Lens Spectrum May 1, 2003. Fitting the Irregular Cornea ... Vogt's striae in the posterior corneal stroma and central corneal scarring. These patients are best fit with GP lenses to correct the irregularity.

2019年2月1日 · Corneal Striae in Keratoconic and Non-Keratoconic Eyes. ... We eventually fit the patient in keratoconus contact lenses that he has worn successfully. Keratoconus Diagnosis. Keratoconus is a non-infectious, non-inflammatory ectatic disorder of the cornea that is often progressive. Early in the disease process, it may be difficult to diagnose.

Differential diagnosis. Vogt’s striae are similar in appearance but must be differentiated from Descemet’s membrane folds. Descemet’s membrane is the basement membrane of the corneal endothelium, made of collagen type IV and laminin. Descemet’s membrane folds can result after surgery to treat keratoconus, such as deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
