Initial Visit:
A 49-year-old white female patient presented and reported severe pain and light sensitivity in both eyes. Referred by another eye care practitioner for a dry eye evaluation, she had previously been diagnosed with dry eye. She denied dry mouth and joint pain and had been using Ciprofloxacin QID OU with no improvement in symptoms. She had also used PredForte 1% QID in both eyes and Systane gel ointment every night, with only marginal improvement. Her presenting visual acuity with her current spectacles was 20/20 in each eye. An Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire revealed a score of 46- indicating severe symptoms.
During the slit lamp evaluation, the patient exhibited grade 4 Van Herrick angles bilaterally. Severe meibomian gland dropout was observed in the left eye compared to the right eye. Additionally, there was severe lissamine green staining of the conjunctiva and severe diffuse punctate staining of the cornea bilaterally. The anterior chamber appeared deep and quiet with no evidence of cell or flare. The iris and lens were clear, and the anterior vitreous was also clear bilaterally.
The patient was advised on several recommendations to manage her condition effectively. Firstly, she was educated on using warm compresses with eyelid hygiene twice daily, emphasizing the importance of integrating this into her daily routine to monitor symptom changes and maintain good hygiene practices.
Additionally, she has prescribed Optase tears for use as needed in both eyes and Retaine tears to be used twice daily in each eye. Oral Ω-3 capsules were recommended to supplement tear production. In-office treatments, including Tear Care and Blephex, were suggested to address ocular surface issues. Cequa 0.09% was prescribed twice daily in both eyes for further management. The patient was also advised to use Genteal gel once nightly in each eye for lubrication. Regener-Eyes PRO was recommended for use three times daily in both eyes to address dry eye symptoms effectively. Finally, considering the severity of her condition, scleral lenses were recommended as a potential long-term solution for improved ocular comfort and vision correction.
Follow-Up #1:
During the follow-up examination, the slit lamp findings remained consistent with the previous evaluation. The patient disclosed that she had discontinued using Regener-Eyes after completing the first bottle. As part of the updated recommendations, punctual plugs were suggested for today’s visit to address persistent dryness. Additionally, it was advised to restart using Regener-Eyes twice daily in both eyes and incorporate Siccasan overnight therapy for enhanced management of dry eye symptoms.
Follow-Up #2:
The patient reported significant relief in symptoms now that she was more consistent with the Regener-Eyes PRO. The treatment was continued, focusing on improving ocular surface stability.
Follow-Up #3:
During the patient’s latest visit, she reported continued use of Regener-Eyes and noted significant improvement in her symptoms. Her slit lamp examination revealed marked improvement compared to previous assessments. Given the enhanced stability of her ocular surface, the decision was made to fit her with daily disposable soft contact lenses.
Follow-Up #4:
Complete resolution of signs and symptoms was achieved after six months of Regener-Eyes PRO treatment.
