Substantiation of the ethiopathogenic choice of substitution therapy medications for the dry eye syndrome.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the personalized selection of substitution therapy medications with the consideration of the pathogenesis of dry eye syndrome development in each patient. In order to achieve the set goal, we conducted a content-analysis of the information fromnomenclature on active ingredient as well as on the mechanisms ofaction of substitution therapy medications provided in the prescribing information and labeling of the medications. After that, we performed a pathogenetic ranging of substitution therapy medications depending on the way they influence a certain aspect of disorder of the tear film renewal process in dry eye syndrome. The information received in the course of the conducted research makes it possible for an ophthalmologist – basing on information on the disorder in the quantitative and qualitative correlation between the tear film layers received with the help of modern diagnostic tools to prescribe targeted dry eye syndrome treatment taking into account the necessary point of application of the substitution therapy medications, considering their composition and action mechanism of the active ingredients which they contain.
