  • Title: Slow-release artificial tears and the treatment of keratitis sicca.
    Author: Katz JI, Kaufman HE, Breslin C, Katz IM.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1978 Aug; 85(8):787-93. PubMed ID: 714379.
    Abstract:
    The slow-release artificial tear (SRAT) is a biodegradable, cellulosic polymer without preservative which is inserted beneath the tarsus of the lower lid, and which provides continuous lubrication and tear film stability to the eye. The SR-AT has been shown to reduce both subjective symptoms and objective signs in patients with keratitis sicca, and is a valuable adjunct to therapy in patients with this disease.
