The findings for AR, CT, CCC, LLT, striae and edema did not correlate with blur or with VA decline. For the control eye, two subjects reported blur and none exhibited decreased VA. At 30 min: Group 1: Of 13 experimental eyes: 13 experienced subjective blur nine exhibited a VA decrease > or =2 lines (mean = 3.4 +/- 0.7). Group 2 (n = 11): the above warm compress protocol was repeated to investigate the Fischer-Schweitzer polygonal reflex at the times stated.Īt 5 and 30 min, 71% and 88% of all subjects experienced increased subjective blur and decreased VA. Striae and edema were assessed for each eye at 30 and 5 min after application. Subjective blur, VA, AR, CT, CCC, and LLT were evaluated for each eye at 5, 15, and 30 min and 5 min after application. A warm, moist compress (44.4-45 degrees C) was applied with gentle pressure for 30 min to the closed eyelids of the randomized experimental eye nothing was applied to the contralateral control eye. Group 1 (n = 13): baseline measurements for each eye included subjective blur, visual acuity (VA), autorefraction (AR), corneal topography (CT), central corneal curvature (CCC), lipid layer thickness (LLT), and evaluation for corneal striae and edema. Subjects (n = 24) with dry eye symptoms were recruited. To document adverse visual effects of warm compress therapy and determine potential etiologies in subjects with dry eye symptoms.
