For study 2, central corneal sensation threshold was measured on five different days by one of eight randomly assigned examiners.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Corneal sensation thresholds obtained in studies 1 and 2 were 2.3±1.0 and 2.5±1.2 μL, respectively. No significant differences between repeated measurements were obtained in either study ( P ≥0.19). Thresholds were lower (i.e., corneal sensitivity was higher) in female than male participants (2.1±1.0 vs. 2.7±0.9 μL in male participants, P =0.02) but were not affected by contact lens wear. Clinical reliability of the LJA was good for intrasession repeatability (coefficient of repeatability ±1.6 μL, intraclass correlation coefficient 0.74, within-subject coefficient of variation (CV W ) 24%) and moderate for intersession reproducibility (Coefficient of Reproducibility ±2.2 μL, CV W 32%). Measurement variability was independent of threshold level ( P =0.84).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The LJA offers good clinical repeatability and is a reliable tool to measure corneal sensitivity in different population groups, regardless of stimulus thresholds. Day-to-day fluctuations in corneal sensitivity probably account for the relatively lower reproducibility.</p>","PeriodicalId":50457,"journal":{"name":"Eye & Contact Lens-Science and Clinical Practice","volume":" ","pages":"30-38"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142958315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
