• Improve quality of life
• Improve productivity
• Maximise benifit&relief
• Minimise cost
Consultations
Apart from Ophthalmologists...
consultations may be needed from-

Internist
&
Dermatologists
Aqueous Tear Deficiency

• Moisture chamber spectacles
•Contact lenses
Tear stimulation Secretagogues
Biologic tear substitutes • Serum
• Salivary gland transplantation
Anti-inflammatory therapy •Cyclosporine
• Corticosteroids
• Tetracyclines
Essential fatty acids Omega-3 fatty acids
Environmental strategies • Avoid low humidity
• Avoid drafts
• VDTlowered below eye level
Treatment
is based on severity of disease
According to Intenational Dry Eye workshop(2007):
Dry Eye Severity Leveled as 1,2,3,4;where Level 4 being most severe

Recomended treatment(AAO):
Mild
• Artificial tear with
preservative upto 4X
daily.
• Lubricating ointment at
bed time
• Hot compresses and eye
lid massage
Moderate
• Artificial tear without
preservatives upto 4x
daily to hourly.
• Lubricating ointment at
bed time.
• Topical anti
inflammatory
treatment(closporin A)
• Reversible lower
punctul occlusion with
plugs.
Severe
• All of the above
• Punctul occlusion(lower
&upper)
• Topical serum drops4-
6x daily.
• Topical corticosteroids
• Moist
environment(Humidifier,
moisture shields)
• Tarsorrhaphy(lateral&m
edial)
Qualities of an ideal Dry eye product
• Ability to spread evenly over the cornea quickly
and efficiently.
• Prolonged retention time for extened efficecy
• Objective and subjective improvement in patient
symptoms and signs
*Report of the Definition and Classification Subcommittee of the International Dry Eye Workshop (2007).
Ocular Surface 2007;5:165.
Anatomy of Artificial Tear
Varieties of Artificial TearsLubricants
• Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
• Hydroxypropyl cellulose
• Hyaluronic acid
• Carboxy Methylcellulose
• Polyvinyl alcohol
• Dextran
• Glycerin
• Eye Gels(Vit.A palmitate)
• Polyethelyene Glycol:systane
• Sodium Hyaluronates 0.1-0.3%
• Povidon iodine
HYALUB
(Sodium Hyaluronate 0.1%)
• Lubricating,protecting
• Powerful wetting agent
• Long lasting
• Reduced Ocular surface
damage
• Accelerate wound healing
• Safe,well tolerated for long
term use
• Non preservative
SURGICAL OPTION
Reserved for severe disease poor/non-
complience.
• Punctal plug
• Surgical/Thermal/LASER occlusion.
 ADVANTAGES-
• Prolong tear retention.
• Reduces frequency of artificial tears
needed for symptomatic relief.
Punctul Plugs
•Absorbable:
-Made of collagen or polymer.
-Occlusion duration ranges from 7-
180 days.
-plugs dissolve by themselves or
may be removed by salaine irrigation.
•Non-absorbable:
-Made of silicon
-punctum plugs & Intracanalicular
plugs(Cylindrecal smartplug)
Complications of plug
• Too far insertion,unable to retrieve
• Spontaneous loss into the canaliculus
• Canalicular or NLD obstruction
• Extrusion of plug
• Scarring of punctum
• Ocular surface irritation,epiphora
• Papillomatous overgrowth of exubarent conjunctiva
• Retains inflammatory mediator
• Infection/discomfort
• Costly
Surgical tretment
• Parotid duct translocation:
-Salivary gland may be affected in Sjogren syndrome.
-Frequently secrete more fluid,increases during eating.
• Tarsorrhaphy:
-Narrowing of palpebral fissure reduces the rate of evaporation.
Evaporative Dry Eye
Disease
Meibomian Gland dysfunction(MGD)
Treatment
is based on Staging of MGD
According to The International Workshop on MGD
-Clinical summery of the MGD staging used to GUIDE treatment:
 Stage 1:
MGD Grade Symptoms Corneal

expressibility &
secretion quality
None None
 Stage 2:
 Stage 3:

MGD Grade Symptoms Corneal
staining
+++Moderately
altered epressibility
& secretion quality
Moderate Mild to moderate

 Stage 4:
 “Plus disease”:
Coexisting or accompanying disorders of the ocular surface and/or
eyelids.
MGD Grading Symptoms Corneal
staining
++++ severely
altered
expressibility &
secretion quality
Marked Marked ;central
in addition
Treatment
 Stage 1:
-Patient education about
• MGD
• Potential impact of diet & the effect of work/home environment on tear
evaporation
• Possible drying effect of certain systemic medication
-Consider eyelid hygiene including Warming/expression.
 Stage 2:
-Advise of improving
• Ambient humidity
• Optimizing Workstations
• Increasing dietary omega-3 fatty acid intake(±)
-Institute eyelid hygiene with eylid warming.
-All the above,plus
• Artificial tear
• Topical Azithromycin
• Topical emmolient lubricant or liposomal sprey
• Consider oral tetracycline derivetives.
 Stage 3:
-All the above,plus
• Oral tetracyclin derivetives(+)
• Lubricant ointment at bedtime
• Anti inflammatory therapy for dry eye.(±)
 Stage 4:
-all of the above plus
-anti inflammatory therapy for dry eye(+)
 Plus disease:
-Pulsed soft steroid
-Bandage contact lens/scleral contact lens
-Steroid therapy
-Epilation,cryotherapy
-Interlesional seroid or excision.
-Topical antibiotic or antibiotic&steroid combination
-Tea tree oil scrub
So,What's the Modern Technology in MGD
LIPIFLOW
A device having an insulated
conformer that heats the inner
surface of the lids.
an inflatable pad applies a pulsatile
pressure to the glands through the
tarsal plate.
Dry eye management ppt
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Future casual therapy
• Cyclosporine A0.05% drops in moderate and severe ocular
surface inflammation
• Essential Fatty acids Omega-3 in ocular surface irritation.
• Secration stimulation,Mucin
stabilizera(Sulglycotide),Mucolytic agents,local androgenic
complexes.
• Systemic immunomodulator/immunosupressive in severe
cases.
• Topical antiCD-4 monoclonal antibody to supress the
activation of CD4+ T cells.
Dry eye management ppt
Carry Home Messsage
• Symptoms & Signs don't always catch up with other in case of Dry
Eye Disease,so-
Do not miss subtle clinical conditions.
• Methodical approach to Diagnosis.
• Loads of conditions,Lots of options;so,careful plannig for treatment
outline is must.
• Irrespective of cause of dry eye-
Immunomodulation+tear replacement.
• All available options are only Symptom reliever,none of them
curative.
• Educate the patient & family members about the dillemas in
management.
Thank you
