ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of diquafosol sodium(DQS)eye drops combined with Qingrun Yangmu oral liquid in the treatment of dry eye after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation.METHODS:A total of 57 patients(65 eyes)with dry eye after cataract surgery, who were admitted to the ophthalmology department of our hospital from September 2020 to January 2021, were selected as the research objects. They were divided into a control group(28 cases, 32 eyes, treated with 3% DQS eye drops)and an observation group(29 cases, 33 eyes, treated with 3% DQS eye drops combined with the Qingrun Yangmu oral liquid)based on a random number table method. Indicators, such as ocular surface disease index(OSDI), non-invasive tear film break-up time(NIBUT), Schirmer I test(SIt), corneal fluorescein sodium staining(CFS), and TCM symptom score, were compared and analyzed between the two groups 1d before, 1wk after(before treatment), and 1mo after(after treatment)surgery.RESULTS:The total effective rates of the observation group and the control group after treatment were 88% and 75%, respectively. The OSDI, NIBUT and SIt of the two groups after treatment showed significant improvement compared to those before treatment(P<0.05). The NIBUT, SIt, CFS, and TCM symptom scores of the observation group after treatment were better than those of the control group(P<0.05). No adverse reactions were observed in both groups.CONCLUSION:Combined use of DQS eye drops and the Qingrun Yangmu oral liquid can improve symptoms and clinical indicators of dry eye after cataract surgery, providing a new treatment method for ocular surface management of dry eye during the perioperative period of cataract surgery.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM:To explore the clinical efficacy of probing lacrimal passage combined with tobramycin eye drops in the treatment of congenital dacryocystitis. <p>METHODS: A total of 228 children(250 eyes)aged from 6mo-3a with congenital dacryocystitis treated in our hospital from January 2017 to June 2019 were included. They were assigned into three groups by age: 133 patients(149 eyes)aged from 6mo-1a(Group A), 62 patients(64 eyes)aged from 1-2a(Group B), and 33 patients(37 eyes)aged from 2-3a(Group C). All patients received lacrimal duct probing in surface anesthesia combined with postoperative tobramycin eye drops. <p>RESULTS: The probing cure rates of congenital dacryocystitis among there groups were 97.3%(Group A), 92.2%(Group B)and 83.8%(Group C), respectively. No adverse events reported. Through comparison of these three groups, the cure rate of children from 6mo-1a was the highest. The difference was statistically significant(<i>P</i>=0.009).<p>CONCLUSION: Lacrimal duct probing is effective in the treatment of congenital dacryocystitis, and it is safe and reliable to combine tobramycin eye drops(TOBREX)after surgery. The best time for treatment is 6mo-1a. The operation is simple, less complication, with high clinical value.
