Recent Advances in Management of Dry Eye and our Experience with Autologous Serum Eye Drops in Treatment of Severe Dry Eyes

Normal sight is dependent on moist ocular surface. Dry eye is a condition Occurring due to inadequate tear volume or function. Treatment depends on Severity of dry eyes; normally it is treated by artificial tears, severe dry eye Can also be treated by autologous serum eye drops. To assess the efficacy of autologous serum eye drops in severe dry eyes a Prospective case study was conducted in patients attending the cornea Clinic of Department. Of Ophthalmology, Santosh medical college and hospital, Ghaziabad, Based on history, clinical examination findings, follow up of 28 eyes of 16 Patients at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after starting the autologous serum eye Drops along with artificial tears and on the basis of age, sex, subjective Symptomatic grading and objective score was done- Autologous serum eye Drops instillation in severe dry eye patients improved the symptomology (the Subjective scores) as well as improvement in signs (objective improvement).

Clinical Evaluation and Detailed Study of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) with the Role of Ergonomics in its Management

Objective : To Study The Incidence Of CVS In Computer Users And To Evaluate The Efficacy Of Tear Substitutes&Role Of Ergonomics In The Management Of CVS. Materials and Method : 100 subjects in age group 10-60 yrs., who have been using computer for minimum of 2hrs/day for at least 5-6 days/week, were chosen. Each subject underwent for Visual Acuity examination, Slit Lamp Examination, CVS Scoring&following tests. (1) Schirmer Test (2) Tear Film Break up Time (Tbut) Results : Out of 76 subjects having CVS score >6, 52 used the computer for 4 - 8 hrs.&4 used for <4hrs. Thus, more is the exposure time more is the chances of CVS. Conclusion : There was more improvement after 4 weeks and 8 weeks in the group taking lubricants and ergonomics into consideration than lubricants alone.
