Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Participants Investigators
The nurse will randomly assign eligible patients to receive either 0.28% sodium hyaluronate eye drops (Vismax®) or 0.18% sodium hyaluronate eye drops (Vislube®) using a computerized randomsation. The nurse will be the only individual informed of the assigned medication and will be responsible for administering the eye drops to the participants.

Additionally, the nurse will prepare a medication for the patient to take home. TearLAB specialists measured and recorded tear osmolarity before instillation in all cases for 10 minutes, and at 30 and 60 minutes post-instillation. Ophthalmologists evaluated TBUT, ocular surface staining (Oxford grading scale), and the Schirmer I test before instillation for 5 minutes and assessed adverse reactions up to 60 minutes after instillation. Subjects continued treatment for 30 days and were reevaluated during the second visit for OSDI scores, TBUT, the Oxford grading scale, and adverse events.
