Dry eye disease (DED) is a common chronic ocular disease. DED can have significant impact on visual function, causing disturbances to comfort, daily activities, and general quality of life. The varied nature makes it difficult point specific cause the syndrome. However, current literature agrees that inflammation cornea conjunctiva plays major role in its pathogenesis. Therapies targeted toward shown success treatment DED. purpose this review provide an overview prevalence inflammatory pathophysiology discussion available anti-inflammatory therapies including following: Nonsteroidal drugs, corticosteroids, other hormonal therapies, nonsteroidal immunomodulators, biological tear replacement, antibiotics, dietary supplements, tea tree oil, intense pulsed light.

Abstract: Patients with corneal and conjunctival disorders report an array of ocular surface symptoms including stinging, foreign body sensation, itching. The intensity perceptual quality these sensations their duration, from brief intervals to long-term symptoms, also vary. We hypothesize that symptomatic differences across reflect in the balance between inflammation nerve injury, different conditions resulting predominant effects one these, or a combined effect. This article provides overview cells, such as nociceptors thermoreceptors, descriptions morphological molecular characteristics nerve-firing patterns evoked sensations, determined by earlier studies animals humans. Detailed changes neuronal responses (such abnormal responsiveness spontaneous firing) due local injury are provided, assorted discussed. Eye which is include allergic conjunctivitis photokeratitis, whereas primary factor underlying complaints dry eye after photorefractive keratectomy elderly patients. Both factors contribute substantially disease varicella-zoster infections. model serves explain reported various disorders, short-term versus chronic pain dysesthesias, may help improve diagnoses treatment methods.

Abstract: The diagnosis of acute infectious conjunctivitis can be difficult. Clinical ambiguity exists between the viral and bacterial as well allergic forms, which confound diagnosis. Also, discrimination or origins based on historical, nonspecific, clinical signs symptoms contributes to a high rate misdiagnosis overuse antibiotic treatment. Therefore, in order effectively treat conjunctivitis, physicians must aware available diagnostic tests that provide more accurate differential Keywords:

The purpose of this study was to introduce a novel dry eye rat model induced by aerosol exposure particulate matter (PM).A total 30 female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats divided into 3 groups: the control group, low-level exposed and high-level group. in experience groups were directly PM samples chamber over 14 days. clinical observation, including tear volume, corneal fluorescein staining, breakup time (BUT), inflammation index, irregularity score, confocal microscopy. Eyeballs collected on day for hematoxylin eosin (H&E) staining PAS staining. TUNEL assay, CD45, Ki67 immunostaining performed ultrastructural changes detected electron IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, NF-κB Western blot analysis used observe possible pathogenesis.In PM-treated groups, number layers epithelium nerve fiber length significantly decreased compared with that epithelial microvilli chondriosome/desmosomes drastically reduced groups. Confocal microscopy CD45 immunohistochemistry showed inflammatory cell infiltration caused apoptosis conjunctival cells while leading abnormal proliferation, meanwhile, goblet group also reduced. increased levels p-NF-κB-p65 cornea.Aerosol can reduce stability film cause change ocular surface, which is similar performance human eye, suggesting animal eye.

Dry eye is currently one of the most common ocular surface disease. It can lead to discomfort and even cause visual impairment, which greatly affects work quality life patients. With increasing incidence dry disease (DED) in recent years, receiving more attention, has become hot research fields ophthalmology research. Recently, with in-depth on etiology, pathogenesis treatment DED, it been shown that defects immune regulation main pathological mechanisms DED. Since non-specific specific response are jointly regulated, a variety cells inflammatory factors involved development The conventional DED application artificial tears for lubricating surface. However, moderate-to-severe anti-inflammatory drugs necessary. In this review, immunomodulatory latest progress its related treatments including Chinese medicine will be discussed.
