Brief summary
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) treatment in patients with severe dry eye disease (DED), as well as its effects on aqueous-deficient (ADDE), evaporative (EDE) and mixed (MDE) dry eye.
Detailed description
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) treatment in patients with severe dry eye disease (DED), as well as its effects on aqueous-deficient (ADDE), evaporative (EDE) and mixed (MDE) dry eye. In this prospective, interventional study, 81 patients will be randomly allocated to received 4 treatment sessions of QMR at one-week intervals (Rexon-Eye ® , Resono Ophthalmic, Trieste, Italy) (QRM group) or tear substitute 4 times daily, containing 0.15% sodium hyaluronate and 3% trehalose (Thealoz Duo ® , Thea Pharma, France) (SH-TH group). Outcomes measures will include ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire, tear meniscus height (TMH), tear breakup time (TBUT), non-invasive breakup time (NIBUT), corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), lipid layer thickness (LLT), tear film osmolarity (OSM) and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) grade at baseline, 1-month and 3-months follow-up.
