The Interlinked Ocular Diseases: Dry Eyes & Allergic Conjunctivitis

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Did you know the burden of allergic conjunctivitis (AC) in dry eye disease (DED) patients is rising in India? There are significant parallels between DED and AC, including similar pathogeneses, symptoms, risk factors, and effects on the quality of life. Moreover, the older age group or those with recent eye surgery are at a higher risk of developing AC. A bidirectional diagnosis and treatment routine is required for both ocular diseases to avoid adverse effects. Here's an article that shares deeper insights into the prevalence of DED and AC, their treatment regimens, and what makes the diagnosis challenging.

Prioritizing OSD: Pre-operative DED Evaluation in Cataract Surgery

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Did you know that optimizing ocular surface disease (OSD) evaluation before cataract surgery is crucial? The likelihood of dry eye or another OSD like allergic conjunctivitis is higher when a patient has a cataract. The mildest form of OSD can worsen post-surgery, resulting in defective vision. Before surgery, ophthalmologists must screen for and treat pre-existing DED conditions. Further, it is necessary to minimize intra-operative surgical factors that damage the ocular surface and plan for post-operative dry eye disease (DED) management for better outcomes. Here's an article that shares deeper insights into the evaluation parameters of DED before cataract surgery, along with clinical study highlights.

Preoperative OSD Algorithm to The Rescue

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R, Do preoperative diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease (DED) or ocular surface disorder (OSD) help improve post-surgical outcomes? DED can alter the outcomes of corneal, cataract, and refractive surgery, resulting in poor visual activity and postoperative patient satisfaction. Gaps in clinical proceedings, a lack of guidelines, and the complexities of OSD management have led the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) Cornea Clinical Committee to draft an OSD algorithm and questionnaire for the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of surgery candidates. We bring you an exclusive article discussing the impact of preoperative DED diagnosis and treatment on post-surgical outcomes.

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 Continue Reading Docplexus: One of the world's largest online communities of Doctors Pune - 411045, India info@docplexus.co.in   |  +91 98500 36954 You are receiving this communication because you are registered member of Docplexus.
