Response predictors of a topical corticosteroid‐based regimen for dry eyes: A real‐life study
Improvement in dry eye symptoms and signs were observed following a short course of topical, preservative-free 0.1% dexamethasone treatment in combination with AT. Individuals exhibiting more pronounced symptoms and signs witnessed the most profound improvements with the treatment regimen, suggesting that poor baseline parameters may serve as response predictors of the treatment regimen. While the real-life data presented herein are valuable, the conclusions are limited by the inherent biases of a non-controlled study.
