Efficacy of 0.28% Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drops in Patient With Moderate to Severe Dry Eye

Sponsor: Department of Medical Services Ministry of Public Health of Thailand

Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.28% preservative-free SH and 0.18% SH eye drops in patients with dry eye disease. Subjects diagnosed with dry eye disease and meeting the inclusion criteria (Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score ≥ 23, Fluorescein Tear Breakup Time (TBUT) \< 7 seconds were randomized into two groups. Group 1 (42 eyes) received 0.28% SH, and Group 2 (42 eyes) received 0.18% SH, both administered by a nurse. Measurements included tear osmolarity (TearLAB) before instillation and at 0,30 and 60 minutes post-instillation, recorded by a TearLAB specialist. Ophthalmologists assessed TBUT, ocular surface staining (Oxford grading scale), and the Schirmer I test before instillation and evaluated adverse reactions up to 60 minutes post-instillation. Subjects continued treatment for 30 days and were reevaluated during a second visit for OSDI scores, TBUT, the Oxford grading scale, and adverse events. Quality of life score were assessed at before and after treatment for 1 month.
