“…Matsuda and associates 37 compared Asian and white horizontal visible iris diameter and found a statistically significant racial difference. If corneal diameter is on average smaller in Asians, rate of corneal flattening may be greater in Asian eyes.…”

“…With the exception of rare cases of megalocornea, microcornea, and congenital glaucoma, corneas have an average diameter of 11.7 mm at the limbus. [21][22][23] To facilitate comparisons and emphasize differences, we plotted the residual difference between the mean surface area for each keratoconus group and the normal group (which served as a control), as a function of chord radius.…”

“…Several studies have found that HVID values were significantly smaller for the Asian cohort than the white group. 5,24,36,37 A smaller HVID may indicate a faster rate of corneal flattening in Asians. This was confirmed with topographical measurements that demonstrated significantly flatter horizontal keratometry values in Asian subjects.…”

Contact lens discomfort is a common problem that can lead to unsuccessful or limited contact lens wear. Although many factors may contribute to contact lens discomfort, limited research has explored the influence of ethnicity-related differences in the anatomy and physiology of the ocular surface. Therefore, we performed a search of the literature in PubMed using key words related to “ocular surface” paired with the terms “race” and “ethnicity.” The goal of this review was to determine potential areas of research regarding ethnicity differences, particularly between Asian and non-Asian eyes, in ocular surface integrity to advance our understanding of contact lens discomfort.
