Abstract
Purpose The main objective of this study is to explore the efficacy of olopatadine 0.1% treatment in the resolution of symptoms of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) among the Indian population. Methods This single-center, prospective cohort study involved 234 patients with VKC. Patients were treated with olopatadine 0.1%, twice daily for a period of 12 weeks and then followed up in 1st week, 4th week, 3rd month, and 6th month. The extent of relief in the symptoms of VKC was measured using total ocular symptom score (TOSS) and ocular surface disease index (OSDI). Results In the present study, the dropout rate was 5.6%. Total of 136 males and 85 females with a mean age of 37.68 ± 11.35 years completed the study. TOSS score reduced from 58.85 to 5.06 and the OSDI score reduced from 75.41 to 11.2 with statistical significance (P < 0.01) from 1st week to 6th week after olopatadine 0.1% treatment. The data showed relief in subjective symptoms of itching, tearing, and redness, and relief in discomfort in functions related to ocular grittiness, visuals like reading, and environmental like tolerability in dry conditions. Further, olopatadine 0.1% was effective in both males and females, and patients across ages 18-70 years. Conclusion Based on TOSS and OSDI scores, the findings of this study validate safety and tolerability as revealed by low adverse effects and moderate efficacy of olopatadine 0.1% in reducing VKC symptoms in a broader age group (18-70 years) of both genders.

Abstract
Purpose: To report visual function and quality of life (VF/QOL) using the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) and the ocular surface disease index (OSDI) in patients in the chronic phase of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN). Methods: The NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire was administered to 15 patients who received protocol-based care in the form of topical medications with or without amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) for acute SJS/TEN. The scores obtained were compared with scores from a healthy population. The associations between the NEI-VFQ-25 and dry eye symptoms as measured by OSDI questionnaire were also studied. Results: Patients were surveyed at a mean of 4.47 ± 2.22 years after acute SJS/TEN. Eleven patients received AMT in the acute phase. The median best corrected visual acuity at the time of administration of the questionnaire was 20/20. The mean composite NEI-VFQ-25 score was 86.48 ± 12. Patients who received protocol-based treatment in the acute phase of SJS/TEN had comparable NEI-VFQ-25 scores with healthy subjects on all subscales except ocular pain (p = 0.027) and mental health (p = 0.014), which were significantly reduced. The NEI-VFQ-25 composite scores significantly correlated with OSDI (R = -0.75, p = 0.001). Conclusion: A protocol-based management strategy composed of early ophthalmic evaluation, grading based on severity, the use of topical corticosteroids and AMT in the acute phase of SJS/TEN in patients with ocular complications helped preserve the VF/QOL. This study highlights the impact of appropriate management of the ocular complications in the acute phase of SJS/TEN.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate whether the therapeutic switch from a formulation of Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL with benzalkonium chloride (BAK) or Bimatoprost 0.3 mg/mL preservative-free to a formulation of Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL preservative-free could improve eye surface conditions in patients with glaucoma; intraocular pressure (IOP) was also evaluated. All patients meeting the inclusion criteria were eligible for the therapeutic switch to Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL preservative-free. At each check visit, enrolled patients underwent a break-up time (BUT) test, an ocular surface disease index (OSDI) test, and a three-point tonometric curve. A total of 40 patients were enrolled (23 were in therapy with Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL with BAK and 17 with Bimatoprost 0.3 mg/mL preservative-free). Significant differences of OSDI and BUT between Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL with BAK at baseline vs. Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL preservative-free at 14 and 28 days (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0003, respectively) were recorded. Similarly, significant differences of OSDI and BUT between Bimatoprost 0.3 mg/mL preservative-free at baseline vs. Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL preservative-free at 14 and 28 days (p < 0.0001 for both) were found. Bimatoprost 0.1 mg/mL preservative-free has a better tolerability profile associated with non-therapeutical inferiority in the control of IOP compared to the other Bimatoprost formulations.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the impact of intravitreal injections (IVTI) on ocular surface of patients treated with multiple injections. METHODS Prospective, tricentric study conducted in patients treated with unilateral IVTI. An asepsis protocol with povidone-iodine was used for all patients during IVTI. The primary endpoint was the difference between the pre-IVTI Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI 1) score and that measured on day one (D1) post-IVTI (OSDI 2). Secondary endpoints were the evaluation of predictive factors for OSDI scores, pain assessment on D1, and the Lacrydiag® analysis of tears from the injected eye versus contralateral eye before IVTI. RESULTS Two hundred and nineteen patients with a mean age of 75.9 ± 10 years were included. The mean OSDI2-OSDI1 difference was 19.2 ± 20.6 (p < 0.001). The mean noninvasive tear break-up time was 6.41 ± 4.59 seconds in the injected eye versus 7.36 ± 4.36 seconds in the contralateral eye (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the factors significantly associated with the OSDI 2 score were the OSDI 1 score (p < 0.001), the pain score on D1 (p < 0.001) the number of instilled glaucoma eye drop (p = 0.01) and a centre effect (centres 2 and 3 versus centre 1, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our results confirm the impairment of the ocular surface and quality of life immediately after an IVTI. These results suggest 3 levels of action to improve the immediate tolerance: improving the basal status of the ocular surface, reducing the contact time with povidone-iodine that might be toxic to the surface, and improving immediate post-IVTI treatment.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate to what extent the OSDI can be utilized as a discriminative test for clinical findings. Methods: One thousand and ninety patients with dry eye disease (DED) were consecutively included and examined for osmolarity, tear film break-up time (TFBUT), ocular protection index (OPI), ocular surface staining (OSS), Schirmer I test (ST), meibum expressibility (ME), meibum quality (MQ), and diagnosis of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis considering optimum balanced sensitivity and specificity (close to 50%) was used for assessment. Results: The present study on more than 1,000 patients indicates that the OSDI in the ROC curve analysis is a poor discriminator of pathological scores for TFBUT ≤ 5 (AUC = 0.553; p = .012) and ≤10 s (AUC = 0.608; p = .002), OSS ≥ 3 (AUC = 0.54; p = .043), ST ≤ 5 (AUC = 0.550; p = .032) and ≤10 mm/5 min (AUC = 0.544; p = .016), and ME ≥ 1 (AUC = 0.594; p = <0.001). Pathological scores for osmolarity >308 and >316 mOsm/L, OPI, OSS > 1, MQ, and MGD could not be discriminated by OSDI (p > .05). Conclusion: Cut-off values for the OSDI can be defined to discriminate pathological TFBUT (≤5 and ≤10), OSS (≥3), ST (≤5 and ≤10) and ME, however, the discriminability was low. Our comprehensive study emphasises the importance of taking both symptoms and signs into account in DED management.
