Artificial tears: Promising treatment or silent threat to public health?

Health Science Reports, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Background and Aims Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory condition of the corneal surface, attributed to insufficient or low‐quality production of tears, accounting for 5‐50% of the cases globally. Artificial tears are the first line of treatment as they reduce ocular surface tension, and improve film stability and ...

Efficacy of Topical Azithromycin versus Systemic Doxycycline in Treatment of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Background. Ocular surface disease (OSD) is a multifactorial and highly frequent problem. Inadequate or unstable tear film is the main cause, which leads to visual impairments. One of the primary causes of OSD is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), with a prevalence of 3.5 to 70%.

Analysis of Cytokine Levels in Meibum and Clinical Correlations with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Disease Markers, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Objectives. This study is aimed at investigating the difference of meibum chemokines in MGD subjects with different degrees of MGD and the correlations of meibum chemokines with ocular surface parameters. Methods. Twenty MGD subjects (MQ score > 8) and twenty MGD subjects (MQ score ≤ 8) were enrolled to examine ocular surface parameters, including ...

Improved Watershed Algorithm‐Based Microscopic Images Combined with Meibomian Gland Microprobe in the Treatment of Demodectic Blepharitis

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The objective of the study was to explore microscopic images under a watershed segmentation algorithm combined with meibomian gland microprobe in the treatment of demodectic blepharitis. For segmenting the connected target objects in the image, the watershed algorithm was utilized first to obtain the target region in the image, and then, the fuzzy C ...

Change in Ocular Surface Staining during Eyelid Warming Is Related to Tear Cytokine Levels

Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Purpose. To investigate the changes in the tear cytokine profile of patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) treated with eyelid warming and to correlate these changes with clinical parameters for dry eye disease (DED). Methods. Seventy patients with MGD were included and treated with the warming of eyelids. Of these, 61 still used the treatment
