Slow-release artificial tears and the treatment of keratitis sicca.

J I Katz, H E Kaufman, C Breslin, I M Katz.   

Abstract

The slow-release artificial tear (SRAT) is a biodegradable, cellulosic polymer without preservative which is inserted beneath the tarsus of the lower lid, and which provides continuous lubrication and tear film stability to the eye. The SR-AT has been shown to reduce both subjective symptoms and objective signs in patients with keratitis sicca, and is a valuable adjunct to therapy in patients with this disease.
