Abstract

Purpose to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive method of treating dry eye syndrome against the background of chronic peripheral uveitis. Material and methods. The study was performed among 98 patients (196 eyes), who made up 2 observation groups: the main group (78 people) and comparison group (20 people). The main group was treated with a new method, the comparison group was prescribed local anti-inflammatory and tear replacement therapy. Results. Application of the combined treatment showed a significant decrease in OSDI and occurrence of changes in ocular surface (up to 100%), characteristic for the syndrome of «dry eye». The indicators of total tear production became higher up to 2 times from the initial level after the therapy. Conclusion: The use of a new complex method of treatment significantly reduces the subjective and objective manifestations of the "dry eye" syndrome, contributes to an increase in total tear production against the background of relief of inflammation on the extreme periphery of the fundus compared to traditional pharmacotherapy. Key words: dry eye syndrome, chronic peripheral uveitis, combined treatment method, laser coagulation of the extreme periphery of the retina.
