  • Title: [Hydroxypropylmethyl-containing eyedrops in the treatment of sicca syndrome].
    Author: Török M.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1985 Jul; 187(1):60-2. PubMed ID: 4068574.
    Abstract:
    The author reports on 16 patients (9 with keratoconjunctivitis sicca, 7 with Sjögren's syndrome) treated with Isopto-Naturale eye drops for 10 months. Reduction of photophobia, burning, dryness and foreign-body sensation were achieved by local administration of the drug 2 to 5 times a day. The lesions in the corneal epithelium also improved significantly during the treatment period. Thus, Isopto-Naturale eye drops have proved to be more effective than 1% methylcellulose or 1.4% PVA artificial tear eye drops in the treatment of dry-eye syndrome.
