Interventions
Lipid Based Artificial Tears
30 participants received lipid-based artificial tears (Recuro) in this study arm. The intervention involved the administration of RECURO EYE DROPS, which contain Sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0.5%. Participants were instructed to instill 1-2 drops in each eye, three times daily (morning, afternoon, and evening) throughout the 6-week trial period.
Aqueous Based Artificial Tears
30 participants received aqueous-based artificial tears (Softeal) in this study arm. The intervention involved the administration of SOFTEAL EYE DROPS, which contain Hydroxypropylmethyl Cellulose 0.3%. Participants were instructed to instill 1-2 drops in each eye, three times daily (morning, afternoon, and evening) throughout the 6-week trial period.
