In response to Dr. Kasperkiewicz's commentary on our meta-analysis conducted by Bocanegra-Oyola et al., we fully agree with refining diagnostic processes for ocular pemphigoid, particularly in differentiating it from pseudopemphigoid. We concur that relying solely on clinical findings may result in misdiagnoses. Confirming the diagnosis via biopsy can be challenging, requiring multiple biopsies in some patients, and should always be supported by a multidisciplinary clinical assessment involving ophthalmologists and dermatologists.
