Abstract EN
Purpose.
This study evaluated the effects of using a newly developed eye cleansing formulation (Eye Shampoo) to cleanse the eyelids for 4 weeks in a parallel-group comparative study in women with chronic eye discomfort caused by heavy use of eye makeup and poor eye hygiene habits.
Methods.
Twenty women participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to 2 groups comprising 10 participants each.
The participants were asked to use either artificial tears alone or artificial tears in conjunction with Eye Shampoo for 4 weeks.
The participants answered the questionnaire again and were reexamined, and changes in symptoms within each group and variations of symptoms between the two groups were statistically analyzed.
Results.
In the group using only artificial tears, improvements in subjective symptoms but not in ophthalmologic examination results were found.
In the group using Eye Shampoo together with artificial tears, significant improvements were observed in the subjective symptoms, meibomian orifice obstruction, meibum secretion, tear breakup time, and superficial punctate keratopathy.
Conclusion.
In patients with chronic eye discomfort thought to be caused by heavy eye makeup, maintaining eyelid hygiene using Eye Shampoo caused a marked improvement in meibomian gland blockage and dry eye symptoms.
