The purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness of the Delfanto® in the complex therapy of patients with dry eye syndrome of various etiologies and severity of the clinical course.Patients and methods. 114 patients (228 eyes) with dry eye syndrome of various etiologies were examined: 72 patients with chronic meibomian blepharitis and dysfunction of the meibomian glands (xerosis due to increased evaporation of the tear film), 33 women with perimenopause (a mixed form of xerosis with a predominant decrease in the production of components of the tear film) and 9 persons with Syegren syndrome (xerosis due to a pronounced decrease in tear production). All patients received individually selected tear replacement therapy over the past weeks and the drug was not replaced throughout the study. At the same time, patients with mild and moderate clinical course of SSG for 30 days received Delfanto® at a dosage of 60 mg, and with severe course — 120 mg per day.Results. All patients on the background of complex therapy showed a significant decrease in the severity of subjective manifestations of the dry eye syndrome, an increase in the of the tear film stability and indicators of tear production. At the same time, the dynamics of changes in these parameters of the course of the xerotic process increased as the therapy continued, reaching a maximum by the 30th day. The maximum effect of Delfanto® in the complex therapy of patients with dry eye syndrome was observed in patients with chronic meibomian blepharitis. Moreover, patients with a mild clinical course of cornealconjunctival xerosis were the most susceptible to the therapy.Conclusion. The effectiveness of the complex therapy for patients with dry eye syndrome can be significantly increased by prescribing Delfanto® in a daily dose of 60 mg for mild and moderate xerosis and 120 mg — for severe disease. Delfante® can be recommended for widespread clinical use in complex treatment of patients with various clinical and pathogenetic forms of dry eye syndrome.

Purpose: to assess the results of treatment of patients with computer visual syndrome (CVS) accompanied by low and mild myopia. Material and methods. 52 CVS patients aged 17 to 34 years (mean age 22.3 ± 2.72 years) were divided into 2 groups. For 4 weeks, patients in group 1 received Irifrin 2.5 % and patients in group 2 received preservative-free Irifrin-BK 2.5 % daily before going to bed. Before and after the course of treatment, all patients were examined to see how Irifrin 2.5 % and Irifrin-BK 2.5 % affect the main accommodation parameters: tear production, tear film stability and ocular surface epithelium. Results. The effectiveness of Irifrin 2.5 % medication was established for both pathogenetic links of CVS: disorders of accommodation and accommodative asthenopia related with it and the secondary “dry eye” syndrome. All patients demonstrated a decrease in the frequency and severity of asthenopia manifestations, increased uncorrected visual acuity, the absolute accommodation volume, as well as positive and negative parts of volume relative accommodation volume, which can be associated with the effect produced by phenylephrine hydrochloride. Besides, a reduction of the subjective discomfort is noted. Corneal epithelial staining with sodium fluorescein and conjunctiva staining with rose Bengal solution becomes less pronounced. Precorneal tear film demonstrates increased stability. These effects are apparently due to the presence of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose in both drugs and the absence of preservative in Irifrin-BK 2.5 % // Russian Ophthalmological Journal, 2017; 1: 74-9. doi: 10.21516/2072-0076-2017-10-1-74-79.
