Postoperative evaluation included comparison of the changes in OSDI score and corneal staining grade after 3 months of treatment from baseline.Results: From baseline to 3 months, a statistically significant improvement in mean OSDI scores (38.19 vs 24.18, p < 0.001) as well as mean corneal staining grade (3.62 vs 2.20, p < 0.001) was observed. The proportion of subjects with severe dry eye decreased from 62% to 20% and more than one-third (34%) of patients were in the normal OSDI range. The percentage of eyes with corneal staining grade of 2 or 3 decreased from 21% (baseline) to 8% at 3 months; 50% of the eyes had corneal staining grade of 0. The treatment was found to be safe with no adverse events observed in the study.Conclusion: Dry eye treatment with twice daily cyclosporine 0.1% in chondroitin sulfate emulsion was found to be safe and effective in reducing signs and symptoms of dry eye.Keywords: dry eye treatment, dry eye disease, cyclosporine 0.1%, Klarity-C, immunosuppressive agent DEDMatossian CTrattler WLoh JDove Medical Pressarticledry eye treatmentdry eye diseasecyclosporine 0.1%klarity-cimmunosuppressive agent dedOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1979-1984 (2021) |
