artificial tears A solution containing 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose or 5% polyvinyl alcohol, used to treat dry eye–xerophthalmia, often associated with Sjögren syndrome, which may also be due to sarcoidosis, senile lacrimal gland atrophy, acute or chronic infectious dacryoadenitis–eg, gonococcal...
Artificial tears United States Patent 5627611 Abstract: A passive mechanism supplies moisture into a chamber formed by an eyeglass frame closely fitted over at least one eyeball and the adjacent cheek or cheeks of an eyeglass wearer. The moisture may be composed of water or any suitable evaporable...
As a result of a blood-tear barrier, the living cells on the surface of the eye depend upon the tear film for two life-sustaining requirements: oxygen and electrolytes. TheraTears™, based on clinical studies, has an electrolyte balance matching that seen in the normal human tear film; th...
The formulations described exhibit thinning properties (non-Newtonian viscosity) and similar to natural tears and used surface tension, therefore, as artificial tear substitutes for the treatment of dry eyes (e.g., keratoconjunctivitis sicca) by and used in ophthalmic applications in general....
The mucin plays an important role in wetting the surface, as the aqueous solution alone cannot wet this surface. Thus, the mucin provides a hydrophilic surface for the aqueous tears to spread out on and the surface is wetted by a lowering of the tears' surface tension. Under normal ...
After a 7-day run-in with CMC 0.5% (Refresh Tears) patients were randomized to use either CMC-GLY or CMC as needed, but at least 2 times daily for 30 days. Patients were stratified by Ocular Surface Disease Index© (OSDI) score into moderate (23-32) and severe (> 32-65) subgroup...
