In the article published in Clinical Ophthalmology No. 1-2017, we began to consider the conditions complicated by Dry Eye Syndrome (SSH), or a secondary dry eye, and talked about primary open-angle glaucoma and meibomian gland dysfunction. To continue this topic, we present information on the computer visual syndrome and the complications of contact vision correction.
Computer (digital) eye syndrome is associated with the use of digital / computer and electronic devices combining the features of visual accommodative (or mixed) asthenopia and «dry eye». The wide use of contact lenses also increases the frequency of the DES, which is one of the most common complications of the contact lens correction. The common approach in the «dry eye» prevention and treatment in all of these groups of patients is the use of artificial tears with hyaluronic acid. The article describes the effectiveness of preservative-free drugs: HYLO-СOMOD®, HYLOMAX-СOMOD®, XYLOZAR-COMOD® and HYLOPARIN СOMOD® («URSAPHARM Arzneimittel GmbH», Germany).
Key words: «dry eye», tear film, preservatives, computer vision syndrome, contact lenses, sodium hyaluronate, artificial tears
