Tear ferning in normal dogs and dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca
This study evaluates tear ferning as an ancillary technique for the evaluation of the canine tear film in normal eyes and eyes affected by keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Thirty dogs with KCS and 50 control dogs with normal tear film were evaluated with a full ophthalmoscopic examination and a Schirmer tear test type 1 (STT) determined before tear samples were obtained from the medial canthus...
متن کاملComparison of hyaluronic acid-containing topical eye drops with carbomer-based topical ocular gel as a tear replacement in canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca: A prospective study in twenty five dogs
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a hyaluronic acid containing eye drop in ameliorating ocular surface pathology and discomfort in canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Twenty five dogs with KCS treated with a topical carbomer (CA)-based tear replacement gel were moved to treatment with a hyaluronic acid (HA)-containing tear replacement eye drop. Dogs were subject to a fu...
متن کاملTear film osmolarity and ocular surface disease in two rabbit models for keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
We report the natural history of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) in two rabbit models. The first one (full KCS model) was created by closing the lacrimal gland excretory duct, and removing the nictitating membrane and harderian gland. We created the second one (lacrimal gland duct only [LGDO]-KCS model) by closing the lacrimal gland excretory duct. Although tear film osmolarity was abnormally ...
متن کاملKeratoconjunctivitis sicca due to sarcoidosis.
SARCOIDOSIS is well recognized as a cause of swelling of the lacrimal glands and enters into the differential diagnosis of tumours of this region (DukeElder, 1952). Such swellings may be followed, in some cases, by a form of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (Ainslie and James, 1956; Gruber, 1956). The association of systemic sarcoidosis with keratoconjunctivitis sicca in the absence of swelling of th...
متن کاملLong-term course of tear gland function in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca and Sjögren's syndrome.
AIMS To assess the course of tear gland function of patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) associated with primary (KCS-PSS) or secondary Sjögren's syndrome (KCS-SSS), and of patients with KCS not related to Sjögren's syndrome (KCS-NS). METHODS In 106 patients with dry eye an ophthalmic diagnosis of KCS was made. Subsequent evaluations revealed a diagnosis of KCS-PSS in 31, KCS-SS in ...
