Effects of Bromfenac Sodium Combined with Artificial Tears in the Treat-ment of Dry Eye on Visual Function,Symptoms,and Signs
Objective To explore the effects of the combined application of bromfenac sodium and artificial tears on visual function,symptoms and signs of dry eye patients.Methods A total of 88 patients with dry eye treated in the Third People's Hospital of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the study objects and divided into two groups according to random number table method.The control group(n=44)received single artificial tear treatment,and the observation group(n=44)received combined treatment with sodium bromofenac on the basis of the control group.The treatment cycle was 2 weeks.The therapeutic effect of the two groups was compared.Results After 2 weeks of treatment,the total clinical effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(97.73%vs 81.82%),and the difference was statisti-cally significant(χ2=4.389,P=0.036).After treatment,the scores of self-conscious symptoms and signs,corneal fluo-rescein staining and visual function were decreased,tear secretion was increased,and tear film rupture time was pro-longed in both groups,and observation group was superior to control group,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant(all P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of vision-related quality of life in both groups were increased,and the observation group was higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment of dry eye patients with bromfenac sodium and artificial tears can reduce corneal damage,promote tear secretion,increase tear film stability,improve visual function,and improve their dry eye symp-toms and quality of life,with significant efficacy and good security.
