The study also found that there was no statistically significant difference found between the two studied groups regarding TBUT at baseline, at 1 month and at 2 months while there was highly statistically significant increase in TBUT at 3 months in the CsA 0.05% group more than the perservative free artificial tears group.
This study compared the effectiveness of topical CsA 0.05% eye drops and preservative free artificial tears as regards Schirmer 1 score and TBUT and found a statistically significant increase in the CsA 0.05% group more than the preservative free artificial tears group as regards the Schirmer 1 score starting from the second month and also the TBUT starting from the third month.
