Korean researchers from Daegu Haany University in Gyeongsan assessed the effectiveness of Acupuncture, artificial tears or the combination of both therapies in dry eye syndrome without any specific etiologies. The researchers searched for randomized clinical trials in eight databases through June 2018 and the used outcome measurements were tear-film breakup time, schirmer test, corneal fluorescein staining, ocular surface disease index, visual analogue scale and score of symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acupuncture was found to be superior in improving the symptoms of tear-film breakup time , Schirmer test, corneal fluorescein staining and score of symptoms compared to artificial tears acting alone. The tear-film breakup time and Schirmer test were also more improved in acupuncture combination with artificial tears than artificial tears alone. Further subgroup analyses suggest that applying Acupuncture for 2-3 times per week for 21-30 days may be optimal treatment dose for the treatment of dry eye syndrome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
