In 14 patients (22 eyes) with a burn disease of the eye, a "dry eyes" syndrome was diagnosed. Its diagnostic signs were simultaneous reduction of physiologic tear production to 7 mm and the shortening of time of the tear film break to 8 sec. and lower. The mentioned values were indications to instillations of a preparation, a so-called "artificial tears" (a 6% water solution of polyvinylpyrolidone). Such a therapy allowed to increase the volume of fluid in the conjunctival sac and the stability of tear film as well as in 87.5% of patients to remarkably reduce subjective disorders.
