Abstract

Introduction : Dry eye disease (DED) is a common, multifactorial condition affecting the tear film and ocular surface, leading to discomfort, visual disturbances, and progressive ocular damage if untreated. DED involves a complex interplay among anatomical structures, inflammatory pathways, and environmental factors. It is classified into aqueous-deficient and evaporative types, often presenting as mixed forms. DED significantly affects quality of life, daily functionality, and psychological well-being. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on DED pathophysiology, classification, diagnosis, and management while highlighting recent advancements in therapeutic strategies. Methods :This review adhered to PRISMA 2020 guidelines, focusing on original research published since 2018. Inclusion criteria targeted studies on DED’s inflammatory mechanisms, diagnostic tools, and treatment approaches. Databases searched included PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Keywords such as “dry eye disease,” “ocular surface inflammation,” and “meibomian gland dysfunction” were employed. Following a rigorous screening process, eight studies met the inclusion criteria for comprehensive analysis. Results : The analysis reaffirmed the central role of inflammation in DED pathophysiology, driven by cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases. Emerging diagnostics, such as tear osmolarity tests and meibography, enhance disease identification. Treatment advancements emphasize anti-inflammatory therapies, artificial tears, and meibomian gland support. The review highlights the burden of DED on quality of life and identifies gaps in addressing work-related and environmental stressors. Conclusion : DED is a complex disorder requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Future research should prioritize innovative therapies targeting underlying mechanisms, comprehensive patient education, and integration of mental health support. Holistic management can mitigate the burden of DED and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) is a common ocular condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of individuals worldwide. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the prevalence, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for allergic conjunctivitis. Methods: The study followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines, reviewing English-language publications from 2014 to 2024. Editorials, duplicate reviews from the same journal, and papers lacking a DOI were excluded. The literature search was conducted using PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. Result: A total of 2,172 articles were initially identified through online databases (PubMed, SagePub, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar). After three rounds of screening, eight relevant studies were selected for full-text analysis. Conclusion: Allergic conjunctivitis is common and impacts quality of life. Management includes pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments, with dual-acting antihistamine-mast cell stabilizers being key. Many remain undiagnosed or inadequately treated, highlighting the need for improved awareness, diagnostics, and future research.

Abstract

Background: Cataracts, the leading cause of blindness and a major contributor to vision impairment worldwide, disproportionately affect older adults, particularly in low- and middle-income countries with limited access to eye care. While cataract surgery is a highly cost-effective intervention capable of restoring vision, the prevalence of cataracts continues to rise due to socio-economic and infrastructural challenges. To address these issues, the World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced initiatives such as the Package of Eye Care Interventions (PECI) and emphasized the need for updated, region-specific clinical practice guidelines to improve cataract management and enhance universal health coverage. Methods: This systematic review adhered to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, focusing exclusively on full-text articles published in English between 2014 and 2024. Editorials and review articles without a DOI were excluded to ensure high-quality sources. An exhaustive literature search was conducted across reputable databases, including ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SagePub, to identify relevant studies. Result: An initial database search yielded 500 publications relevant to adult cataract management. After implementing a rigorous three-stage screening process, eight studies meeting the inclusion criteria were selected for comprehensive analysis. These studies were critically evaluated to provide an in-depth assessment of preferred practices in adult cataract management, ensuring a focused and high-quality synthesis of the available evidence. Conclusion: Management strategies for cataracts are crucial for addressing global blindness and visual impairment, focusing on early detection, early detection, and addressing global disparities to optimize surgical outcomes and patient quality of life.
