Effects of artificial tear treatment on corneal epithelial thickness and corneal topography findings in dry eye patients.

CONCLUSION: Artificial tear treatment in dry eye patients seems to increase central corneal epithelial and mid-peripheral corneal thicknesses. Measurement of corneal epithelial thickness can be a useful tool for evaluation of treatment response in dry eye patients. Further long-term prospective studies are needed to investigate this item.
