Abstract:
We evaluated the efficacy of topical 2% cyclosporine drops in the treatment of tear-deficient dry eye because of acquired primary lachrymal disease (APLD; 15 patients) and Sjögren syndrome (SS; 15 patients). Symptoms of dryness tended to improve in patients with SS. Schirmer score improved in patients with APLD. Topical CsA 2% drops appears to be safe and effective in the treatment of dry eye patients because in patients with APLD and SS, there is trend toward improvement.
