Abstract:

Purpose — to evaluate the antioxidative effect of artificial tears in the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Material and methods. The study included 43 patients (60 eyes) with severe KCS: 38 women (50 eyes) and 5 men (10 eyes) aged from 27 to 76 years (in average 52 years). Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups; all patients used therapeutic silicone hydrogel soft contact lens (SCL) and instillations of 0.05% Cyclosporin A (CyA) 2 times a day. Patients of the first group (22 people, 30 eyes) used 0.15% hyaluronic acid. In the second group, patients (21 people, 30 eyes) used a tear substitute with similar surface-active component, but with antioxidant properties. The results of the treatment were evaluated using basic and additional research methods at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Results. Corneal epithelialization was achieved after 1 month of conservative treatment in all patients who wore SCLs and were treated with instillations of 0.05% CyA and artificial tears. Then the lenses were removed and the patients were switched to instillations of CyA and artificial tears. Comparative analysis of the results showed that higher functional indicators were achieved in the second group, where patients used Artelac Rebalance drops with antioxidant properties. Conclusion. Improvement of clinical and functional parameters in the treatment of severe forms of KCS was achieved by direct action on both links of pathogenesis with minimal amounts of the drugs and the frequency of their use. Subsequent supportive therapy contributed to stabilization of the results and further increase of the functional parameters.
