2 The Definition and Classification of Dry Eye Disease: Report of the Definition and Classification Subcommittee of the International Dry E ye Work Shop ( ) THE OCULAR SURFACE / APRIL 2007, VOL. 5, NO. 2 Hyperevaporative disorders, mostly caused by dysfunction of the meibomian glands, and mixed hyperevaporative/aq ueous-deficient forms account for more than 80% of cases
3 Baudouin C, et al. Br J Ophthalmol 2016;100: doi: /bjophthalmol Causes: Blepharitis Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Chalasis Tear Film Instability Increased Evaporation Increased Osmolarity Causes: Eyelid dysfunctions, Tear film instability Allergies Cytokine Release Vicious Cycle of Dry Eyes Cell Damage Causes: Cellular damage Systemic inflammatory factors Inflammation Nerve Stimulation Cellular Death Causes: Direct trauma, Friction Exposure Increased osmolarity
4 What testing is necessary to do a dry eye evaluation? 1. Meibography 2. Meibomian Gland Quality 3. Lid Assessment 4. Tear Break Up Time Tear Film Instability Increased Evaporation Increased Osmolarity 1. Tear Lab 2. Eyelid Assessment 3. Blink Rate 4. Lagopthalmos Eval 5. Tear Lake Assessment Cytokine Release Testing Procedures Cell Damage 1. MMP-9 testing 2. Health History 3. Sjo Testing 4. Autoimmune blood panel Inflammation Cellular Damage 1. Corneal Staining Assessment 2. Conjunctival staining Assessment Nerve Stimulation

9 TEAR MENISCUS > mm Normal <0.2 mm Hyposecretion Think Aqueous Deficiency >0.40 mm Hypersecretion
10 BLINK RATE ASSESSMENT Normal Blink Rate: / blinks/minute Reading/Computer: 5.3 +/- 4.5 blinks/minute The most prevalent symptom associated with Computer Vision Syndrome was tired eyes, which was reported by 40% of subjects as occurring "at least half the time". 32% and 31% of subjects reported symptoms of dry eye and eye discomfort, respectively, with this same frequency Mark Rosenfield; Yuliya Bababekova; Joan K. Portello Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science March 2012, Vol.53, doi: Prevalence Of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) And Dry Eye In Office Workers
11 EYELID POSITION ASSESSMENT Lagophthalmos Floppy eyelid Syndrome Velvety papillary conjunctivitis Swollen lids Strong association with Sleep Apnea

16 LID MARGIN ASSESSMENT:
17 MEIBOGRAPHY: LOOKING BELOW THE SURFACE Role of Meibography: - Establish baseline for future visits - Patient education and compliance - Determination of chronic disease state - Prognostic factors
18 ARRANGEMENT OF MEIBOMIAN GLANDS Heinrich Meibom ( ) first published in Number of upper glands: 25-40, Median: 31 - Average length: 5.5mm - Calculated volume: 26 microliters Number of lower glands: 20-30, Median: 26 - Average length: 2 mm - Calculated volume: 13 microliters Active glands in only 45% of gland openings at one time and a decrease of Active glands by 50% between age 20 to 80.

19 HISTOLOGIC APPEARANCE OF MEIBOMIAN GLANDS Acinus: um diameter - Contain secretory cells called meibocyte - Meibocyte develops on outer layers and migrate centrally Connecting Ductule: 150um long and 30-50um wide -stratified squamous epithelium Central Duct: um in diameter, wider lumen - stratified squamous epithelium Excretory Duct: 0.50mm long. - cornified epithelium
20 PHYSIOLOGY OF MEIBOMIAN GLANDS Greater build up of Meibum during the sleeping hours. Mechanical contraction of M. Orbicularis muscle during blink milks glands towards external epidermis with relaxation of margina muscle of Riolan leading to the expression. Muscles work in opposi

29 Lid Hygiene Omega 3 Supplements Blephex Lipiflow Miboflo Baudouin C, et al.

30 Demodex Blepharitis DEMODEX BLEPHARITIS MANAGEMENT Recalcitrant blepharitis Collarettes located at base of eyelashes Diagnosis removal of lash and placing on slide of microscope plate. Only 7% of the patients were Demodex-free after eyelid scrubbing without TTO, on the other hand, 24% were Demodex-free after eyelid scrubbing with TTO.
31 TREATMENT DEMODEX Blephex In office cleaning procedure 12 minute procedure Effective jump start Cliradex Tea Tree Oil Scrub Avenova Hypochlorous acid Kills Nymph Demodex Mites Neutralizes Toxins Zocular Okra extract medical.net/health/new- Approaches-for-Fighting- Demodex-Mites.aspx
32 MEIBOMIAN GLAND MELTING POINT Melting point Normal Meibomian glands 28 to 32 Celsius (84 to 89.6 Fahrenheit) 5 minutes of treatment with Towel Compress (40 Celsius) applied to skin of eyelids increased tear film lipid layer by 80% with an additional 20% increase after 15 minutes of treatment (Olson et al) Warm moist air device use for 10 minutes twice daily for a period of 2 weeks provided symptomatic relief of ocular fatigue, improvement of tear stability and ocular surface epithelial damage in patients with MGD (Matsumoto et al)
33 LIPIFLOW IN OFFICE TREATMENT THERAPIES Treatment: Heat pulsation therapy from inside out. Pro: Pulsation and heating milks glands and has been shown to provide relief for 1 year. Con: Cost to patient and replacement parts.
34 MIBOFLO IN OFFICE THERAPY Treatment: Heat transfer using Thermal paddle and ultrasound gel. 16 minute procedure 8min/eye Pro: Low cost effective treatment Con: No studies for long term efficacy, may require 2-3 visits for longer lasting effects.
35 ARTIFICIAL TEARS Increase tear film stability Decrease tear osmolarity Rinse toxins and cytokines Reduce friction of conjunctiva and eyelid
36 LIPID BASED TEARS An emulsion-based lubricant eye drop has been studied in normal subjects and patients with aqueous-deficient dry eye, with or without MGD emulsion-treated eyes showed rapid restructuring of the preexisting tear lipid film in tearinterference image examination.

37 ORAL TETRACYCLINES Decrease inflammatory factors: MMP 9 s IL-1 TNF collagenase activity B-cell activation Side Effects: Photo-toxicity Age Restriction older than 8 years of age yellowing/graying of teeth GI upset Instructions: 50 to 100mg/day 6 to 12 weeks Do not take with dairy
38 CORTICOSTEROIDS Use of corticosteroids over a period of 2 to 4 weeks, improve the symptoms and clinical signs of moderate to severe dry eye disease (30, 31). After 2 weeks of treatment, symptoms regressed moderately (43%) or completely (57%).
39 OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS
40 OMEGA 3 ROLE IN INFLAMMATION SUPPRESSION Western diets contain about 10 to 20% of fatty acids as arachidonic acid, with about 0.5 to 1% EPA and about 2 to 4% DHA (Philip C. Calder. Nutrients Mar; 2(3): Published online 2010 Mar 18. doi: /nu ) EPA DHA
41 BIOAVAILABILITY/ABSORPTION OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF EPA/DHA Bioavailability of (EPA + DHA) via triglyceride form reported to be significantly better than ethyl ester form Bioavailability of EPA+DHA from re-esterified triglycerides was superior (124%) compared with natural fish oil, whereas the bioavailability from ethyl esters was inferior (73%). (Dyerberg et al., prost, leuk, and efa 83: (2010)) The absorption of epa/dha in ethyl ester form better on a high fat meal. (Lawson and hughes, bbrc, 156: (1988))
42 FISH OIL INTERACTION WITH WARFARIN Fish oil supplementation could have provided additional anticoagulation with warfarin therapy. This fatty acid may affect platelet aggregation and/or vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. Omega-3 fatty acids may lower thromboxane A(2) supplies within the platelet as well as decrease factor VII levels. ann pharmacother Jan; 38(1)::50-2

49 WHAT TREATMENT OPTIONS WOULD YOU OFFER THE PATIENT?
50 ADDITIONAL CASE HISTORY FROM PRIOR DOCTOR: Patient had negative reaction to Doxycycline in past causing urinary discomfort and had negative reaction to Minocycline caused Diarrhea. Patient put on Tobradex to help with irritated dry eyes, but had a steroid response to 28mmHg OU Patient was put on Combigan to decrease pressure, but irritation increased dramatically Patient was put on Xiidra, but had blurred vision and discontinued Lipiflow offered, but was cost prohibitive
51 TREATMENT PLAN: Tear film stability: Miboflo, blephex procedure to remove blockage Continue compress therapy reaffirmed instructions 108 F Converted standard Omegas to High EPA/DHA Triglyceride Forms Osmolarity: Retaine eye drops qid OU Sleep mask at bed time, decrease night evaporation d/c Azopt due to possible generic dorzolamide allergy and continued Travatan Z only Environment: Humidifier at bed time Inflammation: Continue Restasis bid OU No steroid due to response history Rely on natural Omega 3 Anti-inflammatory
52 SUCCESS AND ROADBLOCKS: Redness started to decrease to 2+ injection by 1 week follow up with just sleep mask and d/c Azopt Lid telangiectasia decreased s/p Blephex and Miboflo at 1 week treatment Two week follow up: IOP spiked to 25/21mmHg with Travatan Z alone Started Timolol 0.5% qam and d/c Travatan Z, changed to generic Latanoprost (cost) qpm. Pressure decreased to 16,13 but patient had difficulty breathing, shortness of breath. Changed medication to Timolol 0.25%qam and Latanoprost qpm OU and 2 week follow up, IOP was maintained at 17/17 mmhg OU, target IOP was 16-18mmHg
