Congratulations to Jarryl H. J. Tsai from the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and Jonathan Au Eong for their latest publication on "Cyclosporine A in the treatment of dry eye syndrome in patients with Sjögren’s disease—a systematic review" in EULAR Rheumatology Open.

Suffering from chronic dry eye due to Sjögren's disease? There's a treatment that targets the root cause! 🎯

For patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS), dry eye isn't just about discomfort; it's an immune-mediated inflammatory process that reduces natural tear production and can damage the ocular surface. Artificial tears help with symptoms, but they don't address the underlying inflammation.

That's where cyclosporine A prescription eye drops come in! 💧
Cyclosporine A works as an immunomodulator, calming the inflammation by inhibiting T-cell activation in the lacrimal glands and conjunctiva. By managing this inflammation, the drops help your eyes produce more of their own natural tears, providing longer-term relief and potentially preventing further damage.

Key Benefits:

Targets Inflammation: Addresses the immune system's role in Sjögren's dry eye, rather than just masking symptoms.

Improves Tear Production: Leads to significant improvement in objective measures like the Schirmer's test and tear break-up time.

Long-Term Safety: Offers a good long-term safety profile compared to topical steroids, making it suitable for chronic use.

Relieves Symptoms: Patients often report significant improvement in burning, stinging, pain, and light sensitivity.
While it may take 4 to 12 weeks to notice the full effect, consistent use can lead to substantial and lasting relief.

If you have Sjögren's-related dry eye, talk to your ophthalmologist or rheumatologist about whether cyclosporine A (available in formulations like Restasis, Ikervis or Cyporin) could be a good option for you.

Do you know that there are now proven ways to prevent short-sightedness (myopia) in children who do not yet have myopia and to slow down its progression for those who already have it?

Delaying the onset of myopia and its progression will reduce the final glasses power when the child becomes an adult and will save sight in the long term. This is because high myopia is associated with a variety of sight-threatening complications such as retinal tear, retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract, retinoschisis, macular hole, macular degeneration and optic disc abnormalities.

This talk will be an eye opener for all parents and grandparents, and will give practical tips on how to save sight in children.

Plan for your child's future and protect his/her sight. Attend this free public forum to find out more.
