Introduction: Face mask has been a vital protective equipment against COVID-19 in this pandemic era. Several ophthalmic complaints have associated with face use, leading to the term "mask-associated dry eye". There's still question that arises whether duration of use contributes condition. This review aimed assess correlation between prolonged on eyes.
 Methods: A thorough systematic searc...

PURPOSE To compare ocular surface cytokine expression in healthy controls and subjects with moderate dry eye and to study the ability of interleukin (IL)-1beta to modulate cytokine expression in cultured human conjunctival epithelial cells (CECs). METHODS Subjective (symptom questionnaire) and objective (tear osmolality, fluorescein tear break-up time [TBUT]) measures of dry eye were determin...

AIM The main treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a major cause of dry eye, is eyelid warming. Lack of compliance is the main reason for treatment failure. This has led to the development of eyelid-warming devices that are safe, effective and convenient. To obtain robust evidence demonstrating their efficacy, the authors conducted a 3-arm randomized clinical study. METHODS The aut...

Objective: To investigate changes in corneal endothelial cell density, morphology and central thickness patients with ocular rosacea. Method: 60 eyes of 30 rosacea control group similar demographic characteristics were included the study. Detailed ophthalmological examination was performed all individuals participating The participants evaluated by specular microscopy, schirmer 1 test, tear bre...

BACKGROUND Universal postoperative guidelines for cataract extraction surgery are yet to be introduced. Artificial tears are gaining popularity as an additional integral component of the postoperative regime. The primary objective of this study was to explore the impact of two prevalent artificial tear preparations on postoperative discomfort following cataract extraction surgery. METHODS A t...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) in the promotion of healing, survival and expression of mucin in corneal epithelial cells in a rabbit dry eye model. A total of 12 healthy female New Zealand white rabbits were divided randomly into three groups. The lacrimal glands were injected with saline either alone (normal contr...

RATIONALE Among the most frequently encountered pathologies examined by the ophthalmologist is dry eye syndrome (DE), which can be discovered particularly in the elderly. The initial diagnosis of DE is of high importance, but also challenging. This is because the biochemical changes in the tear film often develop before any detectable signs. OBJECTIVE In this study, the possible relationship ...

Purpose: Not much attention is given to evaluation of ocular surface abnormalities in diabetics. This study has been carried out evaluate factors like age, sex, duration diabetes causing dry eye type 2 diabetics along with tear film stability using various tests Schirmers test and Tear break up time. Materials Methods: In this observational cross-sectional study, 50 patients were examined, who ...

BACKGROUND Physical cooling of the eye surface relieves ocular discomfort, but translating this event to drug treatment of dry eye discomfort not been studied. Here, we synthesized a water-soluble TRPM8 receptor agonist called cryosim-3 (C3, 1-diisopropylphosphorylnonane) which selectively activates TRPM8 (linked to cooling) but not TRPV1 or TRPA1 (linked to nociception) and tested C3 in subjec...
