Comparative Performance of Artificial Tear Drops Assessed with Objective Non-Invasive Imaging
The performance of various over-the-counter artificial tears can be determined with non-invasive imaging technologies. Certain drops can outperform others with regard to individual test parameters suggesting that personalization or optimization of therapy may be possible. Both active and inactive ingredients contribute to the efficacy of artificial tears. Further work is needed to determine if differences observed here translate into meaningful clinical differences for dry eye disease treatment. This report highlights the complexity of dry eye disease and the need for ongoing work to find optimal ways to treat the ocular surface.
