The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of eye drops with antioxidants on mild to moderate dry eye symptoms in patients with diabetic retinopathy, evaluating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in the tear film.
The researchers intend to include 78 patients, divided into three intervention groups, who will be randomly assigned an eye drop with antioxidants, where the patient must apply one drop in each eye for 1 month.
In the study, the characteristics of the surface of the eye will be evaluated and tear samples will be taken from each eye, before and after the intervention with the eye drops. Subsequently, the clinical and sample results will be evaluated to compare the effects between them.
Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease where tear film homeostasis is lost, accompanied by ocular symptoms such as burning, blurred vision, foreign body sensation, ocular redness, itching, in which tear film instability and hyperosmolarity, causing inflammation of the ocular surface, endothelial damage and neurosensory alterations.
Worldwide, in patients with diabetic retinopathy it has a prevalence of 54%, however in Mexico, only a prevalence of 41% has been described in the diabetic population, without having reports of prevalence in patients with diabetic retinopathy.
The state of chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus causes neuropathic corneal damage and dysfunction of the meibomian glands, this promotes a decrease in tear production, establishing dysfunction of the tear film and a state of hyperosmolarity in it, the latter induces activation of inflammatory mediators and release of proinflammatory cytokines that generate more damage to the corneal surface, entering a vicious cycle of tear film instability.
Likewise, the preexisting state of oxidative stress in patients with diabetic retinopathy, where there is an imbalance between the production and degradation of reactive oxygen species, contributes to the induction of changes in the corneal surface and tear film dysfunction.
Dry eye treatment is focused on the characteristics of the tear film and the characteristics of the ocular surface, with the aim of controlling and improving symptoms, with the use of different formulations and tolerability profiles. However, these are not adequate to reduce the effect of the inflammatory state and oxidative stress present in the tear film and the ocular surface, causing the patient's visual quality to worsen.
The researchers intend to assess whether antioxidant therapy in eye drops influences levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in the tear film.
