“…In a previous study using 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose as a control group, the improvement effect was greater in patients with a short TBUT of less than 7 s compared with the control group, and the surface staining score also showed a more significant improvement. 35 Although the drugs in the control group were different, the TBUT improvement effect of rebamipide was also seen in our study, and it was superior to the control group in improving the corneal surface staining score.…”

Purpose: To compare the effects of 2% rebamipide clear solution and 0.1% sodium hyaluronate eye drops in patients with visual display terminal (VDT)-related dry eye disease (DED). Design: Prospective, randomized, double-blinded Study. Methods: This was a prospective, double-blind, and randomized controlled study. Patients with VDT-related DED were randomly allocated to a 2% rebamipide (REB) group or a 0.1% sodium hyaluronate (HYA) group (4 times/day for 4 weeks). The ocular surface disease index (OSDI), dry eye questionnaire-5 (DEQ-5), Placido disk-tear film analyzer, fluorescein-stained tear break-up time (FBUT), ocular surface staining score, and Schirmer 1 test were examined before and after the instillation of drug. Results: A total of 56 eyes of 28 patients (28 eyes of 14 patients in each group) were included. There were no significant differences in the baseline data. The OSDI, DEQ-5, FBUT, and conjunctival erosion scores improved significantly in both groups after treatment. In the REB group, corneal staining and bulbar nasal redness scores also improved significantly after treatment (P<0.001 and 0.036, respectively), whereas no significant differences were found in these parameters in the HYA group (P=0.326 and 0.118, respectively). The REB group showed a significantly larger decrease in the corneal staining score than the HYA group (P=0.016). No adverse reactions were observed. Conclusions: A 2% rebamipide clear solution effectively improved the symptoms and signs in patients with VDT-related DED and was superior to 0.1% sodium hyaluronate ophthalmic solution in improving corneal epithelial damage, making it a safe and effective treatment option for VDT-related DED.

Background: Vision is a person's most highly valued sense. Eye is the highly sensitive, specialized organ subjected to various disorders, many of which lead to impaired vision. It affects an individual's independence in self-care, work, lifestyle, sense of self-esteem, safety and overall quality of life. In India, there are lakhs of children and adults suffering from blindness. Corneal transplantation through donated eyes helps restore the vision for people with blindness [1] . Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of planned group teaching programme on eye donation among adults in terms of gain in knowledge score. Methodology:The research design was pre-experimental, one group pre-test, post-test design. The sample comprised of 60 adults selected by convenience sampling. A structured interview schedule was used to collect the data. Result: Most (88.3%) of the subjects in the pre-test had poor knowledge whereas in the post-test all the subjects (100%) had scored good knowledge. Conclusion:The study concluded that the planned group teaching program was found effective in increasing the knowledge among adult regarding eye donation.
