Clinical Ophthalmology Mar 31, 2019

Kanellopoulos AJ - Researchers studied the incidence of transient dry eye correlated with LASIK for myopia and also the effectiveness of topical cyclosporine A administration. They observed Schirmer’s test mean preoperative value, 4.5±3.6 mm at 1-month post-LASIK. They observed the mean preoperative Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, 11.47±9.97 for cases and 11.79±10.31 for controls, which improved to 23.03±10.17 and 15.13±9.49 at 12 months postoperatively, respectively.
