Exploratory case series reveals impression cytology as a diagnostic tool for ocular surface squamous neoplasia, indicating its potential in rural healthcare settings.
Impression cytology is a feasible, minimally invasive diagnostic tool for OSSN that can identify dysplastic changes and guide clinical management in resource-limited settings. While it cannot definitively diagnose stromal invasion and histopathological confirmation remains necessary when invasion is suspected, IC serves as a useful screening and monitoring modality in rural healthcare environments. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate these preliminary findings.
