Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) after cataract surgery, and the impact of hyaluronic acid and ginkgo biloba eyedrops (HA-GB).Methods: Forty patients with no DED received Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, assessment of conjunctival hyperemia and epithelial damage, fluorescein tear break-up time (TBUT) at baseline, day 1, week 1, and 4; adherence and tolerability were checked at weeks 1 and 4. At day 0 patients underwent cataract surgery and were randomized to standard postoperative care (control group) or standard postoperative care + HA-GB 3 times a day for 4 weeks (HA-GB group).Results: At baseline, TBUT was 9.6 +/- 2.6 sec in controls and 9.0 +/- 1.6 in HA-GB; thereafter it was higher in HA-GB group: 5.8 +/- 2.3 versus 7.8 +/- 3.2 (week 1, P = 0.03) and 6.4 +/- 2.3 versus 8.5 +/- 2.5 (week 4, P = 0.009). OSDI and conjunctival hyperemia were better in HA-GB group at week 4; respectively, 9.0 +/- 5.7 versus 14.8 +/- 7.3 (P = 0.004) and 5% versus 35% (P = 0.04). In the last 2 visits 50% of controls were symptomatic (OSDI of 13 or higher) compared with 16% on HA-GB group (P < 0.001). In addition, tolerability was higher in HA-GB group (week 1: 0.81 +/- 0.20 versus 0.70 +/- 0.24, P = 0.007; week 4: 0.93 +/- 0.17 versus 0.80 +/- 0.28, P = 0.001).Conclusion: Treatment with HA-GB is effective in reducing DED signs and symptoms in patients receiving cataract surgery, with high tolerability and safety profiles. clinicaltrials.gov (ID number NCT05002036).

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) after cataract surgery, and the impact of hyaluronic acid and ginkgo biloba eyedrops (HA-GB).Methods: Forty patients with no DED received Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire, assessment of conjunctival hyperemia and epithelial damage, fluorescein tear break-up time (TBUT) at baseline, day 1, week 1, and 4; adherence and tolerability were checked at weeks 1 and 4. At day 0 patients underwent cataract surgery and were randomized to standard postoperative care (control group) or standard postoperative care + HA-GB 3 times a day for 4 weeks (HA-GB group).Results: At baseline, TBUT was 9.6 +/- 2.6 sec in controls and 9.0 +/- 1.6 in HA-GB; thereafter it was higher in HA-GB group: 5.8 +/- 2.3 versus 7.8 +/- 3.2 (week 1, P = 0.03) and 6.4 +/- 2.3 versus 8.5 +/- 2.5 (week 4, P = 0.009). OSDI and conjunctival hyperemia were better in HA-GB group at week 4; respectively, 9.0 +/- 5.7 versus 14.8 +/- 7.3 (P = 0.004) and 5% versus 35% (P = 0.04). In the last 2 visits 50% of controls were symptomatic (OSDI of 13 or higher) compared with 16% on HA-GB group (P < 0.001). In addition, tolerability was higher in HA-GB group (week 1: 0.81 +/- 0.20 versus 0.70 +/- 0.24, P = 0.007; week 4: 0.93 +/- 0.17 versus 0.80 +/- 0.28, P = 0.001).Conclusion: Treatment with HA-GB is effective in reducing DED signs and symptoms in patients receiving cataract surgery, with high tolerability and safety profiles. clinicaltrials.gov (ID number NCT05002036).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
