|
D.
|

|
|
| 14. Patients with corneal vascularization have symptoms that include burning, stinging and itching on lens removal. |
|
|
| 15. Corneal vascularization can be seen only on patients wearing extended wear soft lenses. |
|
|
| 16. Limbal epithelial hypertrophy often goes undetected unless lenses are removed and the eyes examined with a slit lamp using flourescein. |
|
|
| 17. Giant papillary conjunctivitis is usually a bilateral condition. |

|
| 19. About one-third of patients with seborrheic blepharitis have dry eyes. |
|
|
| 20. If blepharitis cannot be controlled with lid scrubs and hot compresses, topical and/or oral antibiotics may be needed to relieve symptoms. |
