Abstract

Background: Dry eye is a chronic condition caused by tear film instability, leading to discomfort and/or visual impairment, possibly accompanied by ocular surface damage. Objectives: To evaluate the overall treatment outcomes for dry eye and the side effects of 3% Diquafosol. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 728 students currently enrolled at Bac Lieu Medical College. Treatment outcomes were assessed using the OSDI scale and tear film stability (FBUT).Results: Diquafosol 3% proved to be a safe treatment option for dry eye, with a 100% cure rate within the first 4 weeks (p<0.001) and minimal side effects (3.7% reported symptoms). Conclusions: Diquafosol 3% is a safe and effective treatment option for dry eye disease.
