Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Do you recommend propylene glycol/hydroxypropyl-guar (PG/HPG) lipid-based artificial tears for patients with evaporative dry eye (EDE)? - Dry eye disease (DED) affects one in five adults and can significantly impair the quality of life.
- EDE, causedby meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), blink-abnormalities,mucin deficiency,and reduction in aqueous layer volume and content, occursin over 85% of DED patients. Therefore, early intervention and a multifaceted management approach are needed to preventMGD and EDE.
- Lipid-based artificial tearsare the preferred treatment option in EDE, as they significantly relieve symptoms by improving the lipidlayer and preventing further ocular surface damage.
Read this article to learn more about recent advancements in EDE treatment and management in India and how PG/HPG lipid-based eye drops can effectively manage EDE. Highlights:- EDE: The most common type of DED
