“…These filaments commonly manifest when individuals suffer from dry eye disease (DED) alongside conditions such as brain lesions, autoimmune diseases, and graft-versus-host disease, often due to the aggravating blink reflex, Additionally, given the promising Volume 06; Issue 02 J Med Biomed Discoveries, an open access journal ISSN: 2688-8718 results of punctal occlusion with plasma in previous research for managing dry eye disease yielding swift improvement after a single session and long-term relief following three consecutive sessions, effectively treating DED with punctum stricture, the notion of its efficacy has inspired the present study [7][8][9]. This study aims to assess the efficacy of plasma occlusion of punctum (POP) as a prompt solution for filamentary keratitis (FK) in patients suffering from severe dry eye disease intensified by immunologic diseases, multiple ocular surgeries and traumas, and rheumatoid arthritis.…”
