The Comparison of 50% AS Versus PFAT+ 0.05 % COE in Severe Dry Eye Syndrome

Summary

The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a 1 month clinical trial of 50% AS for the treatment of severe dry eye syndrom (DES) based on Schirmer's Test, tear break-up time (TBUT), fluorescein staining, and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scores, as compared to conventional preservative-free artificial tears (PFAT) plus 0.05% COE treatment in patients with severe DES
