What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1using the 0.1% fluorometholone eye drops combined with the 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops
Group 2using the 0.5% cyclosporin A eye drops combined with 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. tear-film breakup time

    stain the cornea with the fluorescein; close the eye; open the eye and keep the eye open,count the seconds until the first black spot appears.

    Measured: the enrolling day,2 weeks after treatment,4 weeks after treatment,8 weeks after treatment

  2. Schirmer test I without anesthesia

    put the Schirmer test strip into the lower conjunctival sac; close the eye for 5 minutes; read the score of the test strip

    Measured: the enrolling day,2 weeks after treatment,4 weeks after treatment, 8 weeks after treatment

  3. corneal fluorescein staining

    Fluorescein staining scores were measured on 0-3 point scale, in each quarter of corneal zone: 0(No staining), 1(some staining), 2(Staining in more than a half of the area), 3(Staining in the whole area).

    Measured: the enrolling day,2 weeks after treatment,4 weeks after treatment,8 weeks after treatment
