Kawahara A. Management of Dry Eye Disease for Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in Cataract Surgery: A Systematic Review. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:597. [PMID: 38927833 PMCID: PMC11201055 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11060597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Cataracts are characterized by the crystalline lens of the eye becoming cloudy, and dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease in which the homeostasis of the tear film is lost. As the prevalence of both diseases increases with age, there is a high prevalence of DED among patients who are candidates for cataract surgery. In recent years, cataract surgery has evolved from vision restoration surgery to refractive surgery. To achieve good surgical outcomes, it is necessary to minimize postoperative refractive error in intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, which requires accurate preoperative keratometry measurements. A stable tear film is important for the accuracy and reproducibility of keratometry measurements, and DED may have a deleterious effect. In this study, original articles that focused primarily on findings related to this topic were evaluated. A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Although appropriate DED diagnoses were not presented in the articles evaluated in this review, it was confirmed that the clinical signs of DED, particularly the shortening of the tear film break-up time (TBUT), negatively impact IOL power calculations. Improvement in these clinical signs might mitigate the negative effects on these calculations.

A protocol for a single center, randomized, controlled trial comparing the clinical efficacy of 3% diquafosol and 0.1% hyaluronic acid in diabetic patients with dry eye disease. Trials 2023; 24:803. [PMID: 38087329 PMCID: PMC10714480 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-023-07818-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to rise and 70% of diabetic individuals have dry eye disease (DED) that leads to subsequent abnormalities of the corneal epithelium, corneal nerves, tear film, or corneal endothelium. In addition, persons with diabetes produce fewer tear secretions than healthy individuals. While several anti-inflammatory drug-based therapies for dry eye in diabetic individuals are currently being administered, their efficacy has not been studied in detail. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 3% diquafosol (DQS) vs 0.1% hyaluronic acid (HA) eye drops in diabetic dry eye patients. METHODS This triple-blind randomized, control trial will include 202 diabetic-related DED and will be assigned to DQS (n = 101) and HA (n = 101) one drop, six times per day for 8 weeks. Tear film lipid layer, non-invasive breakup time, conjunctivocorneal staining score, corneal sensitivity, tear MMP-9 levels, meibomian gland expression and quality, tear meniscus height, corneal nerves, immune/inflammatory cell change, conjunctival hyperemia, and ocular surface disease index questionnaire score will be assessed and compared at baseline, week 4, and week 8. DISCUSSION This study will be a standardized, scientific, clinical trial designed to evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of DQS and HA for diabetic dry eye treatment.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2023; 261:3355-3367. [PMID: 37162564 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-023-06083-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diquafosol enhances fluid transfer and mucin secretion on ocular surface, which has been suggested as an effective treatment for dry eye disease (DED). The aim of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of topical diquafosol versus hyaluronic acid (HA) for DED. METHODS Relevant randomized controlled trials were obtained via search of electronic including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. A random-effects model was used to pool the results after incorporating the influence of potential heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of nine RCTs involving 1295 patients with DED were included in the meta-analysis. Compared to treatment with 0.1% HA, topical treatment with 3% diquafosol significantly improved the Ocular Surface Disease Index (mean difference (MD): - 3.59, 95% confidence interval (CI): - 4.68 to - 2.50, p < 0.001; I2 = 6%), results of Schirmer's test (MD: 1.08 mm, 95% CI: 0.41 to 1.76, p = 0.002; I2 = 0%), tear breakup time (MD: 0.60 s, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.99, p = 0.003; I2 = 63%), corneal fluorescein staining score (MD: - 0.20, 95% CI: - 0.37 to - 0.03, p = 0.02; I2 = 58%), and ocular rose bengal staining score (MD: - 0.62, 95% CI: - 0.88 to - 0.35, p < 0.001; I2 = 15%). No severe adverse events were reported. Topical use of diquafosol was associated with a higher risk of overall adverse events as compared to HA (odds ratio: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.08 to 2.71, p = 0.02; I2 = 18%). CONCLUSIONS Topical treatment with 3% diquafosol may be more effective than 0.1% HA for patients with DED. However, the long-term efficacy and tolerability of diquafosol still need to be determined.

The Combined Impact of Intense Pulsed Light Combined and 3% Diquafosol Ophthalmic Solution on Evaporative Dry Eye: A Randomized Control Study. Ophthalmol Ther 2023; 12:2959-2971. [PMID: 37589932 PMCID: PMC10640412 DOI: 10.1007/s40123-023-00784-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The primary objective of this study is to assess whether the combination of intense pulsed light (IPL) with 3% diquafosol (DQS) ophthalmic solution is more effective than intense pulsed light in alleviating signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED). METHODS This randomized study included 66 participants with evaporative dry eye (EDE) who received IPL + DQS therapy (n = 44 eyes), IPL therapy (n = 44 eyes), or sham therapy (n = 44 eyes). All participants were examined at baseline (D0), day 14 (D14), and day 28 (D28) for non-invasive break-up time (NITBUT), tear-film lipid layer (TFLL), corneal conjunctival staining (CS), meibomian gland quality (MGQ), meibomian gland expression (MGEx), and ocular surface disease index (OSDI). RESULTS At day 28, comparison among the IPL + DQS therapy, IPL therapy, and sham therapy found significant differences in the mean NITBUT (12.03 ± 1.27 versus 10.47 ± 3.48 versus 4.57 ± 0.46; p < 0.001), TFLL (2.09 ± 0.29 versus 2.27 ± 0.45 versus 2.89 ± 0.65; p < 0.001), CS (1.43 ± 0.82 versus 1.93 ± 1.32 versus 3.52 ± 1.00; p < 0.001), MGQ (1.55 ± 0.66 versus 1.91 ± 0.77 versus 2.66 ± 0.53; p < 0.001), MGEx (1.27 ± 0.45 versus 1.75 ± 0.44 versus 2.41 ± 0.50; p < 0.001), and OSDI score (19.36 ± 7.01 versus 24.77 ± 4.68 versus 42.61 ± 7.49; p < 0.001); significant improvements in NITBUT, TFLL, CS, MGQ, MGEx, and OSDI were found in the IPL + DQS therapy and IPL therapy, while the sham therapy had no significant improvements. CONCLUSION Combining 3% diquafosol ophthalmic solution with intense pulsed light was superior to IPL therapy alone in relieving the signs and symptoms of patients with severe evaporative DED.

The Efficacy and Safety of Rebamipide Ophthalmic Suspension (OPC-12759) in Patients with Dry Eye Disease: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7155. [PMID: 38002767 PMCID: PMC10672675 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12227155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rebamipide (REB) ophthalmic suspension in dry eye disease (DED). A systematic review that only included full-length randomized controlled studies (RCTs) reporting the effects of REB ophthalmic suspension in three databases, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to analyze the quality of the studies selected. A total of seven studies were included in this systematic review. Although the overall risk of bias was low, most studies were sponsored by the manufacturer. REB ophthalmic suspension treatment achieved higher improvement than the control group in all reported variables. The mean differences between both groups were in favor of the REB group and were as follows: dry eye-related quality of life score (DEQS) -3.5 ± 2.9 points, tear film break-up time (TBUT) of 0.7 ± 0.6 s, Schirmer test (ST) without anesthesia of 0.3 ± 0.6 mm and total corneal fluorescein staining (tCFS) of -1.2 ± 0.7 points. Adverse events (AEs) were 5.2 ± 7.6% superior in the REB group, with an overall compliance > 95%. Therefore, REB ophthalmic suspension is a safe and effective treatment that could be recommended in patients with DED.

Kawahara A. Treatment of Dry Eye Disease (DED) in Asia: Strategies for Short Tear Film Breakup Time-Type DED. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2591. [PMID: 38004570 PMCID: PMC10674215 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15112591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disorder in which tear fluid homeostasis is lost, resulting in increased tear film osmolarity and ocular surface irritation. In Asia, the short tear film breakup time-type DED, which has become a global problem in recent years, is common. While the mainstay of DED treatment in the West is the suppression of inflammation, the first goal of treatment is the stabilization of the tear film in Asia. To date, artificial tears and steroid eye drops have been the main treatment for DED. However, artificial tears require frequent administration of eye drops and thus pose adherence problems, while steroids have problems with side-effects (cataracts, increased intraocular pressure). This review evaluates the new generation therapies in Asia based on what is known about them and demonstrates that they are more effective for DED than traditional therapies such as artificial tears and steroids. Based on considerations, it is proposed that the optimal treatment for the short tear film breakup time-type DED is the initial application of mucin-secretion-enhancing eye drops (long-acting diquafosol) and oral supplements; and if additional treatment is needed, cyclosporine eye drops and the adjunctive therapies presented in this review are added.

Abstract
Dry eye disease is an umbrella term that includes a variety of symptoms and signs. A link between diabetes mellitus and dry eye disease exists, but the associated phenotype needs further examination. Thus, our aim was to determine how diabetes mellitus relates to the dry eye disease phenotype. A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Miami Veteran Affairs Medical Center ophthalmology clinic between October 2013 and September 2019. Participants included a volunteer sample of 366 South Florida veterans with one or more symptoms or signs of dry eye disease [Dry Eye Questionnaire-5 ≥ 6 OR tear break-up time ≤ 5 OR Schirmer's test score ≤ 5 OR corneal fluorescein staining ≥ 2]. Participants were divided into three groups: (1) individuals without diabetes mellitus (controls); (2) individuals with diabetes mellitus but without end-organ complications; and (3) individuals with diabetes mellitus and end-organ complications. Dry eye metrics were compared across groups. The main outcome measures included ocular symptom questionnaires [e.g., 5-item Dry Eye Questionnaire, Ocular Surface Disease Index, and ocular pain assessment] and clinical parameters obtained from an ocular surface evaluation. A total of 366 individuals were included (mean age 59 ± 6 years; 89% males; 39% White; 11% diabetes mellitus and end-organ complications; 15% diabetes mellitus but without end-organ complications). Individuals with diabetes mellitus and end-organ complications had lower symptom scores on the dry eye disease and pain-specific questionnaires compared to individuals with diabetes mellitus but without end-organ complications and controls (Ocular Surface Disease Index: 42.1 ± 24.5 vs. 38.9 ± 25.1 vs. 23.6 ± 16.2; p < 0.001; numerical rating scale of ocular pain intensity: 4.9 ± 3.2 vs. 4.3 ± 2.7 vs. 3.5 ± 2.7; p = 0.02). Eyelid laxity was also more severe in the group with diabetes mellitus and end-organ complications (0.69 ± 0.64 vs. 0.73 ± 0.72 vs. 1.08 ± 0.77; p = 0.004) compared to the two other groups. The diabetic dry eye disease phenotype is driven by signs more so than by symptoms, with anatomic eyelid abnormalities being more frequent in individuals with diabetes mellitus and end-organ complications. Given this, ocular surface abnormalities in individuals with DM may be missed if screened by symptoms alone. As such, individuals with DM should undergo a slit lamp examination for signs of ocular surface disease, including anatomic abnormalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus has been associated with increased dry eye disease (DED) and exacerbates DED pathology. OBJECTIVE To investigate the potential relationship between corneal nerve loss and ocular pain among diabetic patients with dry eye (DE). DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING He Eye Specialist Hospital, Shenyang, China. PARTICIPANTS This study recruited 124 eyes of 62 diabetic patients diagnosed with DED between August and October 2022. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, non-invasive tear breakup time, tear meniscus height, tear film lipid layer, conjunctival hyperaemia (redness score), conjunctivocorneal epithelial staining (CS score), central corneal sensitivity and vitro confocal corneal microscopy was assessed in all subjects. The Ocular Surface Disease Index Questionnaire assessed DE symptoms and ocular pain. RESULTS The study's final analysis included 26 patients (52 eyes) without ocular pain and 36 patients (72 eyes) with ocular pain. The corneal nerve fibre density (CNFD), corneal nerve branch density (CNBD) and corneal nerve fibre length (CNFL) in patients with ocular pain were significantly lower than those without (p<0.001, p=0.004, and p<0.001, respectively). CNFD, CNBD and CNFL negatively correlated with ocular pain (r=-0.385, r=-0.260, r=-0.358, respectively). Moreover, CNFD, CNBD and CNFL have a significant (p<0.05) positive correlation with corneal sensitivity (r=0.523, r=0.330, r=0.421, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Corneal nerve loss was associated with ocular pain and decreased corneal sensitivity in diabetic patients with DE. Further studies into the neurological role of ocular surface diseases can elaborate diagnostics, prognosis and treatment of diabetic patients with DE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evaporative dry eye (EDE) is common and can lead to ocular pain, decreased visual quality and reduced quality of life. Intense pulsed light (IPL) and 3% diquafosol ophthalmic solution have been found to be beneficial in reducing signs and symptoms of dry eye. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A randomised clinical trial will be performed at He Eye Specialist Hospital in Shenyang. 360 dry eye disease patients will be equally divided randomly into the IPL group, DQS group (3% diquafosol ophthalmic solution eye-drops) and IPL+group (IPL combined with 3% diquafosol eye-drops). All groups will be followed up for 4 weeks. The primary outcome measures will be the non-invasive tear break-up time and the Ocular Surface Disease Index change from the baseline. The secondary outcome measures willincludeconjunctival and cornea staining with fluorescein and lissamine, meibomian gland function and secretion quality, tear film lipid layer score, tear meniscus height, conjunctival hyperemia (redness score) changes . Adverse events also will be monitored and documented.

Ishikawa S, Sasaki T, Maruyama T, Murayama K, Shinoda K. Effectiveness and Adherence of Dry Eye Patients Who Switched from Short- to Long-Acting Diquafosol Ophthalmic Solution. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4495. [PMID: 37445527 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12134495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Long-acting (lasting extend) diquafosol ophthalmic solution 3% (DQSLX) is administered three times daily versus six times daily for the currently approved diquafosol ophthalmic solution (DQS). We investigated the efficacy and adherence of switching from DQS to DQSLX in patients with dry eye disease. We retrospectively enrolled 54 patients (17 men and 37 women) with eye drop prescription changes from DQS to DQSLX between December 2022 and March 2023. The number of eye drops, subjective symptoms, tear breakup time (TBUT), and fluorescein staining scores from baseline to 4 weeks after starting DQSLX were evaluated. Participants then chose between DQSLX and DQS. Patients administered DQSLX three times per day, as listed on the package insert, 88.9% of the time; significantly higher than the 5.6% of patients who used DQS six times per day, as instructed. The DQSLX group showed significant improvements in symptoms and fluorescein staining scores (23.3 ± 20.1 and 0.8 ± 1.7, respectively) compared with the baseline (37.8 ± 24.1 and 1.1 ± 1.5, p = 0.01 and <0.001, respectively). The TBUT in the DQSLX group (5.0 ± 2.5 s) did not significantly improve compared to the DQS group (4.5 ± 1.7 s) (p = 0.75). Fifty-one (94.4%) patients opted to continue DQSLX because of the pleasant feeling of the eye drops, long-lasting moisture, and less frequent administration. The efficacy and adherence of DQSLX was comparable to DQS.

Abstract
Purpose of Review To review the role of ocular surface epithelial (corneal and conjunctival) ion transporters in the pathogenesis and treatment of dry eye disease (DED). Recent Findings Currently, anti-inflammatory agents are the mainstay of DED treatment, though there are several agents in development that target ion transport proteins on the ocular surface, acting by pro-secretory or anti-absorptive mechanisms to increase the tear fluid Film volume. Activation or inhibition of selected ion transporters can alter tear fluid osmolality, driving water transport onto the ocular surface via osmosis. Several ion transporters have been proposed as potential therapeutic targets for DED, including the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs), and the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). Summary Ocular surface epithelial cell ion transporters are promising targets for pro-secretory and anti-absorptive therapies of DED.
