Effects of Calf Blood-Deproteinized Extract Ophthalmic Gel Combined with Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drops on Conjunctival Hyperemia Score and Tear Film Stability in Patients with Dry Eye

Objective: The aim of this paper is to research the impact of calf blood-deproteinized extract ophthalmic gel combined with sodium hyaluronate eye drops on conjunctival hyperemia score and tear film stability in patients having dry eye.

Methods: 144 patients having dry eye disease who were hospitalized from July 2018 to July 2021 were chosen as the research targets, which were composed of the control group and research group on the basis of the sequences of hospitalization, and each has 72 cases. The sodium hyaluronate eye drops were gained in the control one. In accordance with the control one, the study ones were given the combined treatment with eye drops of sodium hyaluronate. Treatment of calf blood-deproteinized extract ophthalmic gel, the scores of conjunctival hyperemia, tear film stability, visual function, curative effect, and their adverse reactions were observed and made comparisons among the two groups.

Results: After the treatments of 2 weeks and later 1 month, the numerical values of the conjunctival hyperemia were fewer in the categories which had been mentioned above, and in contrast with the control one ( < 0.05), the numerical values of the conjunctival hyperemia in the study one were distinctly fewer. The data of SIt, BUT, and the heights of the central tear river of the lower eyelid were higher than those before cure. In comparison with the control one, the FL of the study one was distinctly lower, and the heights of SIt, BUT, and the central tear river of the lower eyelid were obviously better than the control one ( < 0.05). After therapy, the visual contrast sensitivity of the patients in two categories at 6.4 c/d and 12c/d increased in comparison with those before treatment, and the visual contrast sensitivity of the study group at 6.4 c/d and 12c/d was apparently higher than the data of control one ( < 0.05); the effective rate of treatment in the study one was 97.22%, which had a higher situation than the control one, 88.89% ( < 0.05); the probability of occurrence of the negative events in the study one after treatment was 4.17%, which was distinctly below the control one, 15.28% ( < 0.05).

Conclusion: In order for the treatments of patients having dry eye disease, the use of calf blood-deproteinized extract ophthalmic gel having the combinations with eye drops of sodium hyaluronate can enhance the extent of visual impairment and conjunctival hyperemia with effect and improve the stability of tear film, with significant safety and high efficiency.
