Effectiveness and safety of demodecosis blepharitis therapy under dry eye conditions

Purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of complex therapy in patients with demodex blepharitis and dry eye. Methods. 25 patients with mixed demodex blepharitis and dry eye (50 eyes; 10 men, 15 women; 61.9 ± 5.6 years) were examined before and after treatment with 0.5 % levofloxacin instil...

description Purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of complex therapy in patients with demodex blepharitis and dry eye. Methods. 25 patients with mixed demodex blepharitis and dry eye (50 eyes; 10 men, 15 women; 61.9 ± 5.6 years) were examined before and after treatment with 0.5 % levofloxacin instillation (5 times a day, 5 days); sulfur and metronidazole gel applications (Blefarogel-forte) as part of therapeutic eyelid hygiene (Blepharogel-cleansing, Blepharolotion; starting from day 6, 2 times a day, 45 days); 0.24 % sodium hyaluronate instillation (3 times a day). Therapy effectiveness criteria were as follows: D. folliculorum mite population reduction; positive dynamics of blepharitis objective signs and meibomian gland dysfunction severity (MGD-S, points). Therapy safety criteria included the absence of negative dynamics of OSDI, tear film breakup time (TBUT, s), inferior tear meniscus height (ITMH, µm) and xerosis index (XI, points). Results. As a result of the therapy, statistically significant changes were noted, including mite population reduction (from 9.23 ± 0.81 to 3.54 ± 0.80 imagos); eyelid margins edema intensity decrease (from 3.18 ± 0.39 to 1.30 ± 0.45 points) and hyperemia decrease (from 2.90 ± 0.29 to 0.9 ± 0.3 points); MGD-S decrease (from 2.1 ± 0.3 to 0.95 ± 0.21 points); OSDI decrease (from 43.23 ± 4.70 to 25.10 ± 2.65 points); TBUT increase (from 4.05 ± 0.50 to 5.55 ± 0.50 s); XI decrease (from 5.36 ± 0.49 to 4.04 ± 0.60 points). Conclusion. The treatment of demodex blepharitis and dry eye treatment, including sulfur and metronidazole gel applications, therapeutic eyelid hygiene and 0.5 % levofloxacin and 0.24 % sodium hyaluronate instillation demonstrated a high efficiency and a good safety profile.
