Overview

Analysis reveals low specificity of the cotton wisp test in ocular surface diseases, indicating potential errors in assessment.

Key Points

  • To evaluate corneal sensitivity using two different tests in patients with ocular surface diseases.
  • Compared corneal sensitivity between Non-contact Esthesiometer and Cotton Wisp Test in patients.
  • Assessed the specificity and confidence interval of the qualitative CW test.
  • The qualitative CW test showed low specificity.
  • High broad confidence intervals indicate potential for false-positive results.
