Hyaluronic Acid for Dry Eye Disease: Does the Concentration Matter?

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Do you recommend HA-containing eye drops to your dry eye disease (DED) patients?
Despite introducing new DED treatments, hyaluronic acid (HA) eye drops remain a vital treatment choice for tear supplementation in patients with mild to severe DED. HA, an anionic glycosaminoglycan mainly found in connective tissue, vitreous, and aqueous humor, coats the corneal endothelium. HA effectively binds water, avoids dehydration, is biocompatible, stabilizes the precorneal tear film, and increases ocular surface irregularity. As a result, HA is essential as a lubricant component in treating DED.
Check out this infographic to know more about the impact of the different concentrations of HA on DED.

Highlights:
  • Mechanism of action of HA in DED management
  • Pros and cons of HA-containing eye drops with a high concentration
  • Clinical efficacy of low and high concentration and combination of HA eye drops for DED

Replenish and Rejuvenate: Lipid-based Eye Drops to Manage Evaporative Dry Eyes

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Are you aware of the recent lipid-based lubricant therapy in managing evaporative dry eye disease (DED)?
Evaporative dry eye is characterized by disruption in the tear film lipid layer. An alteration in the tear film lipids leads to hyperosmolarity and increases evaporation, resulting in ocular surface dryness, inflammation, and damage. Lipid-based artificial tears can enhance tear film break-up time, lessen ocular discomfort, and improve the quality of life of DED patients.
Learn more about how lipid-based therapy is effective for DED patients through this article!

Highlights-
  • Functions of the tears in the eye
  • Different layers of the tear film
  • Role of the tear film lipid layer
  • Pathophysiology of DED and lipid-based eye lubricants for DED
  • Characteristics of liposomes and emulsions used in DED treatments
  • Clinical study on the effectiveness of lipid-based artificial tears in DED
