摘要

Purpose of review

This review explores the evolving role of advanced imaging in the diagnosis and management of recurrent corneal erosion syndrome (RCES), a condition marked by episodic corneal epithelial breakdown. The goal is to evaluate how emerging modalities improve detection, monitoring, and treatment outcomes, and consider the potential future role of artificial intelligence (AI) in this domain.

Recent Findings

Advances in anterior segment optical coherence tomography(ASOCT), corneal epithelial mapping(CEM), In vivo confocal microscopy(IVCM), and meibography have enhanced visualization of microstructural changes in RCES, including basement membrane irregularities and subclinical epithelial defects. Studies suggest, these tools offer superior sensitivity and reproducibility compared to conventional slit-lamp examination.

Summary

Advanced imaging significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment monitoring in RCES. Future integration of AI could further refine risk prediction and enable personalized care. These innovations are poised to reshape clinical practice and inform future research in corneal disease management.
