The impact of inflammatory flares in dry eye disease

• Authors: Justyna Izdebska , Katarzyna Samelska

Abstracts

PL

Dry eye disease is a condition treated commonly by most of the ophthalmologists. The current understanding of the disease puts impact on its newly discovered components – ‘flares’. Flares are defined as exacerbations of dry eye disease. They take place in response to the triggers, which may be environmental or internal factors. During the ‘flare’ the immunological response is being activated and the patients experience the worsening of the symptoms. The introduction of the anti-inflammatory treatment (e.g. topical hydrocortisone solution) is the effective treatment in the cases of inflammatory state exacerbations.
