Dendritic cells and vitamin D in dry eye disease
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
To study the role of dendritic cells and vitamin D in troublesome evaporative dry eye diseasesMaterials and Methods This is a cross sectional study which includes 108 patients having evaporative dry eye disease and 86 normal healthy volunteers Ocular surface index Shirmers test and tear film break up time corneal dendritic cell density vitamin D and cytokines in serumtear were estimated Vitamin D cytokine in serumtear and corneal dendritic cell density were estimatedResult Higher dendritic cell density noticed in evaporative dry eye disease patients compared to control group volunteers and revealed positive correlation with ocular surface index PConclusion Vitamin D has significant role in dry eye disease and its inflammation Vitamin D therapy can be considered as an added treatment for dry eye diseaseKeywords Dendritic cells Vitamin D Inflammatory cells Dry eye
