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 investigate the clinical effects of Qingrun Yangmu Oral Liquid combined with artificial tears on dry eye visual fatigue patients due to Liver-Kidney Yin Deficiency Syndrome.METHODS Ninety patients (180 eyes) randomly and equally were divided into artificial tears group (0.1％ Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drops),oral liquid group (Qingrun Yangmu Oral Liquid) and combination group (0.1％ Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drops and Qingrun Yangmu Oral Liquid) underwent a ten-day course of treatment,and they had their subjective symptom score,tear secretory volume (Schirmer Ⅰ test,SIT),tear film break-up time (BUT),corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score and visuognosis persistence observed prior to the treatment,and on the 1 lth,21st,30th days after the treatment.RESULTS All the aforementioned indices in the three groups were improved after the treatment,especially of the 11th day (P ＜0.01).Obvious changes of BUT,CFS score and visuognosis persistence at different time points,in the three groups were found as compared with those data prior to the treatment (P ＜0.05),so were the subjective symptom score and SIT in the oral liquid group and combination group (P ＜ 0.05).The combination group displayed significantly better results than the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05),which exhibited no obvious differences between the interventions of artificial tears and oral liquid (P ＞ 0.05).A markedly higher total efficacy rate of combination group than the other two groups was achieved as well (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION For patients of dry eye visual fatigue due to Liver-Kidney Yin Deficiency Syndrome,Qingrun Yangmu Oral Liquid combined with artificial tears can relieve their symptoms in terms of tear secretory promotion and prolonged BUT.
