Abstract
Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a prevalent and multifactorial disease that leads to a self-perpetuating cycle of inflammation and damage to the ocular surface. This results in symptoms such as redness, burning, and blurred vision, which can negatively affect a patient's quality of life. While treatments are available to manage DES, they only temporarily relieve symptoms. Furthermore, long-term use of certain medications can cause harm to the ocular surface. Therefore, there is a need for safer and effective treatments for DES. This review highlights the latest advancements in DES therapy, providing valuable insights into ongoing efforts to improve patient outcomes.

KOREAN JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY 2024; 38:156-163. [PMID: 38433323 PMCID: PMC11016685 DOI: 10.3341/kjo.2023.0076] [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: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
New Korean guidelines for the diagnosis and management of dry eye disease were developed based on literature reviews by the Korean Dry Eye Guideline Establishment Committee, a previous dry eye guideline by Korean Corneal Disease Study Group, a survey of Korean Dry Eye Society (KDES) members, and KDES consensus meetings. The new definition of dry eye was also proposed by KDES regular members. The new definition by the regular members of the KDES is as follows: "Dry eye is a disease of the ocular surface characterized by tear film abnormalities and ocular symptoms." The combination of ocular symptoms and an unstable tear film (tear breakup time <7 seconds) was considered as essential components for the diagnosis of dry eye. Schirmer test and ocular surface staining were considered adjunctive diagnostic criteria. The treatment guidelines consisted of a simplified stepwise approach according to aqueous deficiency dominant, evaporation dominant, and altered tear distribution subtypes. New Korean guidelines can be used as a simple, valid, and accessible tool for the diagnosis and management of dry eye disease in clinical practice.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is pathogenetically based on inflammation of the ocular surface. A step-by-step approach to DED treatment involves early initiation of anti-inflammatory therapy, including instillation of cyclosporine A (CsA). However, recommendations for the use of topical CsA in clinical practice are limited. This article presents an expert consensus on practical recommendations for the management of patients with DED, including indications, time of initiation and duration of CsA therapy, comparison of CsA forms currently registered in the Russian Federation, as well as issues of patient education.

Dealing with the Persistent Pathogenic Issues of Dry Eye Disease: The Importance of External and Internal Stimuli and Tissue Responses. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062205.

Abstract
The immune system plays a central role in protecting the ocular surface from exogenous and endogenous insults, maintaining tissue homeostasis thanks to the mechanism of para-inflammation. This physiological adaptive response may induce resident macrophages/monocytes to produce cytokines and growth factors in order to promote epithelial cell recovery. In case of well-controlled para-inflammation, caused by a low amount of stress, cell viability and function are maintained. When stress becomes too intense, there is a response characterized by the activation of autophagic pathways and consequent cell death. Dysregulated homeostasis and chronic sub-clinical inflammation are the starting points for the development of a stable, chronic inflammatory disease, which leads to ocular surface damage, and, in turn, to the onset or progression of chronic dry eye disease (DED). The long-term management of DED should consider all of the pathogenic issues involved in the disease, including the control of persistent external or internal stresses that are capable of activating and maintaining the para-inflammatory adaptive mechanisms, potentially leading to full-blown inflammation. Dysregulated para-inflammation can be corrected by means of the prolonged use of tear substitutes containing minimal doses of safe corticosteroids or other anti-inflammatory molecules (e.g., corticosteroid, cyclosporine) in order to re-equilibrate ocular surface homeostasis.
