Material and Methods: In this cross sectional study, patients above 20 years of age were screened randomly for dry eye. An 8 points questionnaires, slit lamp examination of meibomian glands, tear film breakup time, fluorescein staining of cornea, schirmer test were used to diagnose dry eye. The diagnosis was made when three of the five parameters were positive. The role of various occupations as well as role of different exposure factors like sunlight, excessive wind, smoking, drugs, and air pollution as dry eye risk factors was accessed. Result: Out of 445, 45.39% patients had dry eye. Dry eye prevalence was higher in those above 70 years of age (74%). It was higher in male population (51.82%) compare to female population (37.37%), nearly equal in rural (46.04%) and urban population (44.31%) and highest among factory workers (90%). Correlation of dry eye with drugs (P = 0.0002), sunlight/high temperature (P = 0.0003) and smoking (P = 0.03) were significant. Conclusion: This is a hospital based study which provides prevalence of dry eye in rural region of western Uttar Pradesh. It is more common in old age male population and significantly higher in factory workers. Out of different modifiable risk factors most important are drugs, sunlight/high temperature and smoking.展开更多

This concept does, however, not respect ocular surface topography. The micro-anatomy of the corneal changes may lead to enhanced demands on the tear film and lead to significant complaints. However, they often remain undetected and hence untreated. It is suggested that the pathophysiology for an entire subgroup of dry eye disease patients is primarily of surface morphological nature. Methods: The tear film break up was observed and used to identify anatomical alterations in eyes of patients with dry eye complaints. The localization and pattern of TFBUT using fluorescein was compared between eye with normal surfaces and surface alterations. Results: Premature tear film rupture was localized at constantly same areas and did match changes on the ocular epitheliopathy in patients with diseases such as microcystic epithliopathy, MFD, and after excimer laser treatment. Disusssion: Whereas in normal surfaces TFBUT does occur within the floating tear film, the anatomical dry eye identifies itself with constant location of tear film break up and a constant spreading pattern. In contrast to the classic, tear film caused dry eye, the anatomical dry eye is accessible to treatment. This should catch our attention and intent to identify it. It is the ease of possible treatment that should make these ocular surface alterations prime target of dry eye disease diagnostic. It is hence suggested to introduce the anatomical dry eye as a subgroup in the large group of dry eye and ocular surface disease.展开更多

文摘Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of combining two needling manipulations,Er Long Xi Zhu(two dragons playing with a pearl)and Guo Yan Re(heat produced to reach the eyes),in treating dry eye syndrome(DES)of lung-yin deficiency pattern.Methods:Fifty-six eligible DES patients of lung-yin deficiency were randomized into an observation group and a control group,with 28 cases in each group.Same acupoints were selected in the two groups:Cuanzhu(BL 2),Sizhukong(TE 23),Taiyang(EX-HN 5)and Fengchi(GB 20)were chosen as the major points and Feishu(BL 13)and Chize(LU 5)as the adjuvant.Er Long Xi Zhu and Guo Yan Re needling manipulations were applied in the observation group while twirling reinforcing manipulation was used in the control group.Treatment was conducted once per day in both groups,for two sets of 15 consecutive days at a 2-day interval.Changes in the symptom score,tear break-up time(BUT)and tear production were observed afterwards,and the clinical efficacy was also compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate was 92.8%in the observation group,higher than 71.4%in the control group,and the between-group difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the symptom score,tear BUT and tear production showed significant improvements in both groups(all P<0.05);the symptom score,BUT and tear production in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Given the same acupoint selection,combining Er Long Xi Zhu and Guo Yan Re needling manipulations can produce more significant clinical efficacy than twirling reinforcing manipulation in treating DES of lung-yin deficiency pattern.
文摘目的:探讨一种最新的眼表综合分析仪Keratograph对于泪膜稳定性评估的重复性和准确性,将其测量值与传统的检查方法进行比较。方法:采用Keratograph测量包括首次泪膜破裂时间(the first tear film break-up time,BUT-f)和平均泪膜破裂时间(the average tear film break-up time,BUT-ave)在内的非侵入式泪膜破裂时间(noninvasive tear film break-up time,NI_BUT)结果。测量结果的重复性使用变异系数(coefficient of variation,CV)和组内相关系数(intraclass correlation coefficient,ICC)进行评价,NI-BUT与传统的荧光素泪膜破裂时间(fluorescein tear film break-up time,FBUT)的比较采用Wilcoxon符号秩和检验,确定NI-BUT与FBUT,SchirmerⅠ试验结果的相关关系,采用BlandAltman分析进行一致性评价。结果:本研究纳入了48个受检者(48眼),平均年龄38.7±15.2岁。BUT-f的CV和ICC分别为12.6%和0.95,BUT-ave的为9.8%和0.96。BUT-f值低于FBUT值,差异有统计学意义(6.16±2.46s vs 7.46±1.92s,P<0.01)。NI-BUT与FBUT,SchirmerⅠ试验结果之间存在显著的正相关关系(P<0.01)。BUT-f与FBUT的95%一致性界限(limits of agreement,Lo A)范围为4.46s,BUT-ave与FBUT的Lo A范围为3.64s。结论:Keratograph能够提供具有较好重复性和可靠性的NI-BUT数据,在干眼诊治和角膜屈光性手术等领域有很好的应用前景。
文摘目的对比小牛血去蛋白提取物凝胶(兴齐制药)和羟糖苷眼液(爱尔康)在准分子激光原位角膜磨镶术(laser in situkeratomileusis,LASIK)后对角膜上皮损伤修复作用的功能差异,为改善术后干眼的临床用药提供帮助。方法将2010年1月至4月在我院实施LASIK手术的76例(152眼)近视患者依据术后用药进行分组,Ⅰ组为小牛血去蛋白提取物凝胶组,Ⅱ组为羟糖苷眼液组,术前和术后1个月分别行角膜荧光素染色检查,记录泪膜破裂时间(break-up time,BUT)和角膜上皮染色评分,对比两种药物对LASIK术后角膜上皮损伤修复作用的差异。结果术前、术后的BUT[术后Ⅰ组:(5.61±2.72)s,Ⅱ组:(5.42±3.17)s]和角膜上皮染色评分,组内比较差异无统计学意义(P值分别为0.877和0.092),组间比较差异亦无统计学意义(P值分别为0.683和0.212)。进一步对术前轻度干眼对象进行比较,手术前后BUT变化量组间差异无统计学意义(P=0.107),角膜上皮染色评分变化量的组间差异亦无统计学意义(P=0.181)。结论对于实施了LASIK的患者,术后为防止干眼,使用两类药物具有等同疗效,在BUT的延长上,小牛去蛋白提取物凝胶具有优势;但对于术前轻度干眼的患者,羟糖苷眼液效果更佳。
