Carboxymethylcellulose vs. Polyethylene Glycol as Tear Substitutes for Dry Eye Treatment |
|
Dear Renukaprasad A R, |
What is your opinion on using PEG over CMC to treat dry eyes? |
Dry eye disease (DED) is a condition that causes ocular pain, irritation, and grittiness due to the lack of tear film production or excessive evaporation. Artificial tears act as a solution for DED as they help replace the depleted aqueous layer and decrease inflammatory mediators in the body. Here is a Journal Watch summarizing a prospective randomized control study from the International Journal of Medical and Health Research entitled 'Comparison of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) versus polyethylene glycol (PEG) as tear substitutes for the treatment of dry eye.' |
Highlights-
- An overview of the study: Need and design
- Treatment regimen and the critical findings
- Significance of the study.
