Drops that do not contain hyaluronic acid in the composition do not make sense to treat dry eye syndrome, an ophthalmologist, doctor of medical sciences, employee of the Institute of the Human Brain. NP Bekhtereva RAS Ilmira Gazizova.
“Hyaluronic acid attracts water molecules and keeps them on the surface of the eye for a long time, thus keeping the eye moist for a long time. In our country, preparations for the treatment of dry eye syndrome almost always contain hyaluronic acid.
According to him, doctors also prescribe Skulachev’s drops for the treatment of this disease.
“This is a drug patented and approved for use in Russia. Its composition is absolutely sufficient and has been proven in all clinical trials. It is a very powerful mitochondrial antioxidant. But still, this is a complex therapy, it still can not do without lubricants, artificial tears, ”the ophthalmologist explained.
Dry eye syndrome is characterized by your own tears being defective. It will have an increased content of various salts and acids that violate the neutral pH of tears. With a dry eye, your own tears can cause irritation and lead to the production of tears with an incorrect Ph.
“This is a vicious circle. That’s why we prescribe artificial tears or lubricants to break this vicious circle. They are absolutely osmolarly identical to a natural tear, so they moisturize the eye well,” Gazizova concluded.
