Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors of DM associated dry eye syndrome (DMDES) and to explore the effect of diquafosol sodium ophthalmic solution (DQS) on patients with DMDES after vitrectomy.
Methods
Totally 107 patients (107 eyes) received vitrectomy. The data of age, gender, left/right eye, duration of DM, duration of vitrectomy, fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were collected and analyzed for correlation between these factors and DMDES. Postoperatively, DQS was instilled in experimental group and sodium hyaluronate was instilled in control group. The noninvasive breakup time (NIBUT), tear meniscus height (TMH), Schirmer I test (SIT), corneal fluorescence staining score (CFSS) and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) were recorded before vitrectomy and 1, 2 and 3 months after vitrectomy. All data were used for statistical comparison.
Results
Gender, duration of DM and glycosylated hemoglobin were relevant factors of DMDES (P < 0.05). At 1, 2 and 3 months postoperatively, NIBUT and TMH of experimental group were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05). Postoperatively, CFSS of experimental group was lower than that before vitrectomy, and CFSS at 2 and 3 months after vitrectomy was significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05). At 1, 2 and 3 months postoperatively, SIT increased in both groups, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). OSDI was significantly lower in experimental group at 1, 2 and 3 months postoperatively, compared with that of the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
These results suggest that gender, duration of DM and glycosylated hemoglobin are risk factors for DMDES. Postoperative instillation of DQS can improve the tear film quality in patients with DMDES after vitrectomy.
