Comparison of the efficacy of carboxymethylcellulose 0.5 & #37;, hydroxypropyl-guar containing polyethylene glycol 400/propylene glycol, and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose 0.3 & #37; tear substitutes in improving ocular surface disease index in cases of dry eye
CONCLUSIONS: Hydroxypropyl-guar containing PEG/PG and HPMC as tear substitutes are better than CMC. While HPMC was comparable to PEG/PG in subjective improvement, the objective improvement was not consistent.
