Brief Summary

Commonly know that one of the complications caused by Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is microangiopathy. Microangiopathy in the long term may lead to neuropathy of the corneal nerves. Neuropathy of the cornea will lead to dry eyes in DM patient. One of the artificial tears used in treating dry eyes is sodium hyaluronate. But until recently no research had been done in examining the effect of giving combination of sodium hyaluronate, vitamin A and vitamin E in dry eyes. The antioxidant, and capability of vitamin A and E in promoting cell proliferation may alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes. In this paper we used Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Tear Break Up time, Schirmer I test and impression cytology to assess baseline and 28 days post therapy in patient with Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR), and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire

    A questionnaire to measure subjective symptoms of dry eyes. Possible score of 0 (no dry eye) to 100 (severe dry eye). Measured at baseline, day 14 and day 28.

    4 weeks

  • Tear Film Breakup Time

    Measurement in seconds of tear film stability. The shorter the fluorescein tear break up time, the lower the tear film stability. Measured at baseline and day 28.

    4 weeks

  • Schirmer I Test

    Measurement of tear production. The amount of tears are measured in total millimeters after 5 minutes has elapsed. Measured at baseline and day 28.

    4 weeks

  • Conjunctival Goblet Cell Density

    Measurement of conjunctival goblet cell count per mm2. Measured at baseline and day 28.

    4 weeks

Model Details: The study examining DM patient with NPDR or PDR complication with decrease corneal sensitivity. Patient with decreased corneal sensitivity were grouped between NPDR and PDR. NPDR group divided into treatment group (combination of sodium hyaluronate, vitamin A and Vitamin E eye drops given 6 times/day) and control group (Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops only given 6 times/day). Likewise, PDR group divided into treatment group (combination of sodium hyaluronate, vitamin A and Vitamin E eye drops given 6 times/day) and control group (Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops only given 6 times/day).
