SUMMARY

The article presents data on the use of a new generation of eye drops on the base of ectoine natural molecule in the treatment of dry eye syndrome (DES).

Рurpose. To study the effect of eye drops on the base of ectoine on the status of the anterior surface of the eye in patients with clinical signs of DES.

Material and methods. Thirty women with DES who use hormonal medications for the treatment of the menopausal clinical manifestations regularly (the first group), and thirty men with primary open-angle glaucoma and the DES caused by long-term use of glaucoma drops with a preservative (the second group) were involved in this study.

Results. It was revealed the positive influence of natural molecule of ectoine on the tears film, eye surface and patients comfortable life. The authors analyzed the results of ordinary and special methods of eye examination and prove that the level of dynamics of reparative processes at the anterior surface of the eye becomes more expressive due to long-term use of eye drops on the base of ectoine.

Keywords: dry eye syndrome, irritation, menopause, glaucoma, ectoine natural molecule.
