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.
