Filaggrin Expression in the Lid Margin During Contact Lens Wear

Conclusion: Filaggrin expression seems to be a normal part of epithelial cell differentiation in the lid margin and may not be a useful keratinization/stress biomarker in the marginal epithelium. Investigating other keratinization biomarkers that are not detected in the normal mucocutaneous junction/LW may help to understand the keratinization nature of LW epithelium changes in CL wearers.
