Correlation between type 2 diabetes, dry eye and Meibomian glands dysfunction
2019
espanolObjetivo Evaluar las glandulas de Meibomio, la superficie ocular y la funcion de la lagrima en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2, y estudiar la correlacion entre estas situaciones. Metodos Estudio prospectivo de 76 varones, 37 de ellos con diabetes tipo 2, con una media de duracion de entre 7±5 anos, y 36 mujeres como grupo control. Tras completar el cuestionario del indice de enfermedad de la superficie ocular (OSDI), se obtuvieron el tiempo de ruptura lagrimal no invasivo (NIBUT) y el patron de la capa lipidica de la lagrima utilizando interferometria y altura del menisco lagrimal/AML. Se estudio la superficie ocular con tincion verde de lisamina y la morfologia de las glandulas con ev…
Tear <sup>1</sup>H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Based Metabolomics Application to the Molecular Diagnosis of Aqueous Tear Deficiency and Me…
2020
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a major cause of signs and symptoms related to dry eyes (DE) and eyelid inflammation. We investigated the composition of human tears by metabolomic approaches in patients with aqueous tear deficiency and MGD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Participants in this prospective, case-control pilot study were split into patients with aqueous tear deficiency and MGD (DE-MGD [<i>n</i> = 15]) and healthy controls (CG; <i>n</i> = 20). Personal interviews, ocular surface disease index (OSDI), and ophthalmic examinations were performed. Reflex tears collected by capillarity were pr…
Tear Film Surface Quality in Modern Daily Disposable Contact Lens Wear
2021
Objectives As reported previously, tear film surface quality (TFSQ) should be considered in contact lens (CL) fitting. This study followed noninvasive keratograph tear film break-up time (NIKBUT) in CL wearers for 12 months to validate its clinical utility in predicting CL performance. Methods Fifty-five subjects (M/F=17/38) aged 26±4 years were prescribed silicone hydrogel or hydrogel CLs. The study included baseline measurements without CLs; 2 visits for CL fitting and control; follow-up after 3, 6, and 12 months of CL wear; and postwear visit without CLs. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), 8-Item Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ-8), first and mean NIKBUT (F/M-NIKBUT), fluoresc…
<p>A randomized multicenter study comparing seawater washes and carmellose artificial tears eyedrops in the treatment of dry eye syndrome</p…
2019
Purpose To investigate the safety and efficacy of sterile isotonic seawater washes vs standard treatment with carmellose artificial tears in dry eye syndrome (DES). Patients and methods This is a randomized multicenter prospective study with 12 weeks of follow-up. A group of patients with DES (N=60) were treated with seawater spray (Quinton®) five times daily, and another similar group (N=60) were treated with carmellose artificial tears eyedrops (Viscofresh® 0.5%) five times a day. The parameters studied and measured were as follows: Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire score, Schirmer I test (without anesthesia) score, tear osmolarity (TearLab®), tear breakup time, tear meniscus hei…
Locking Y Lateral Canthopexy as a Treatment for Dry Eye Disease Caused by Eyelid Malposition
2020
PURPOSE The signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) can affect the quality of life of patients. This study analyzes whether locking Y lateral canthopexy improves patients' quality of life and in what way it does so (based on the ocular surface disease index questionnaire) and DED signs (measured by the fluorescein breakup time, tear osmolarity, Schirmer test, and corneal staining) in patients with DED caused by a eyelid malposition or impaired blink dynamics. METHODS This was a case-control study. Forty eyes of 20 patients with DED and lateral canthal disinsertion examined at the University Hospital La Ribera during a 1-year period from November 2016 to November 2017. The 40 eyes were d…
Estudio de la eficacia de la plicatura del tendón cantal lateral con anclaje en Y en el síndrome del ojo seco evaporativo
2018
INTRODUCCIÓN El síndrome de ojo seco (SOS) es una patología muy prevalente que afecta a la calidad de vida de los pacientes. El manejo terapéutico del SOS es complejo y varía en función del subtipo de SOS que se esté tratando. No se ha demostrado hasta el momento ninguna técnica quirúrgica que cure aquellos SOS por malposición palpebral de causa intrínseca. HIPÓTESIS, MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS La hipótesis del estudio es que la plicatura del tendón cantal lateral con anclaje en Y es eficaz en el tratamiento del SOS evaporativo de causa intrínseca. Se ha realizado un estudio prospectivo de casos y controles en el que se han reclutado en el periodo de tiempo existente entre noviembre de 2016 y novie…
