`Abstract
`Dry eye syndrome is a common chronic disease; agents and strategies for its effective
`management are still lacking. The syndrome tends to be accompanied by ocular surface
`inflammation; therefore, the use of anti-inflammatory agents might prove beneficial. The
`authors present up-to-date guidelines, strategies, and efficacy of dry eye syndrome
`management, including anti-inflammatory treatment. As no diagnostic tests are now
`available to assess ocular surface inflammation severity, the right timing to launch an anti-
`inflammatory agent is difficult to determine. Patients with mild intermittent bouts of
`symptoms which can be alleviated with ophthalmic lubricants do not typically require anti-
`inflammatory therapy. The latter should be considered in those who do not respond to
`lubricating drops, obtain poor results on clinical tests, and show symptoms of ocular surface
`irritation (eg. conjunctivae redness). Anti-inflammatory treatment of dry eye syndrome may
`include short-term corticosteroids, cyclosporine A emulsion, oral tetracycline therapy, oral
`omega-3 fatty acid supplements, and autologous serum eye drops. Anti-inflammatory
`treatment should be safe and effective; potential benefits should be evaluated for each
`individual patient. The authors have reviewed the advantages of anti-inflammatory treatment
`in dry eye syndrome, presented in literature.
