Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Dry Eye Disease (DED) Overview
DED, which is also known as dry eye disease or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface due to a loss of homeostasis of the tear film. It often results in ocular symptoms and visual disturbance due to underlying tear film instability, ocular surface inflammation and damage, and neurosensory abnormalities.
The most common cause of DED is hormonal changes which lead to poor functioning of the tear glands and reduced secretion of tears.
Dry Eye Disease (DED) Diagnosis
Diagnosing DED involves a comprehensive eye examination, including an assessment of symptoms, tear production, and eye surface health. Various diagnostic tests may be used, such as the Schirmer's test to measure tear production, tear breakup time to assess tear film stability, and ocular surface staining with dyes to detect damage. Additionally, a thorough medical history and evaluation of contributing factors like medications or environmental conditions are essential for an accurate diagnosis.
Despite advancements in DED diagnosis, significant unmet needs still persist. Many patients experience delays due to lack of standardized diagnostic criteria and reliance on subjective symptoms. Enhanced diagnostic tools and more precise, objective measures are crucial to improve early detection, accurately gauge disease severity, and tailor effective treatment strategies, ultimately reducing patient discomfort and healthcare burden.

Dry Eye Disease (DED) Treatment
Treatments for dry eyes focus on restoring or maintaining the natural tear levels to alleviate dryness and discomfort while preserving overall eye health. Although dry eyes can be a chronic issue, an optometrist can prescribe therapies to ensure comfort, sustain eye health, and prevent potential vision problems.
The management of DED often involve using over-the-counter artificial tears and prescription eye drops, such as RESTASIS or XIIDRA. Recently several nasal sprays like TYRVAYA are also in the market to provide alternative relief to the patients. Procedures like LipiFlow can enhance tear quality. Lifestyle modifications, including the use of humidifiers and omega-3 fatty acid supplements, are also suggested. For severe cases, punctal plugs or scleral contact lenses may be needed to retain moisture and reduce discomfort. Additionally personalized treatment plans can be discussed with an eye care professional as well.

Marketed Drugs
CEQUA (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.09%: Sun Pharma
CEQUA (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.09% is a clear, sterile solution used to enhance tear production in patients with dry eye disease (keratoconjunctivitis sicca). The recommended dosage is one drop in each eye twice daily, with the vial discarded after use. Cyclosporine, a calcineurin inhibitor, functions as a partial immunomodulator, though its precise mechanism in this topical form remains undefined. Approved by the US FDA in August 2018, CEQUA represents a targeted approach to managing tear production issues associated with ocular inflammation.
TYRVAYA (varenicline solution): Oyster Point Pharma
Varenicline, a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, received US FDA approval in October 2021 for its use as TYRVAYA, a preservative-free nasal spray designed to treat DED. This new formulation offers an innovative method for managing the symptoms associated with dry eye disease. Administered as one spray in each nostril twice daily, TYRVAYA requires priming with seven actuations before the first use and re-priming with one actuation if not used for over five days. The efficacy of TYRVAYA is attributed to varenicline's interaction with specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes, which activates the trigeminal parasympathetic pathway, enhancing basal tear production. While varenicline's binding to various neuronal nicotinic receptors is well-documented, the precise mechanism of action remains under investigation.
Emerging Drugs
Reproxalap: Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc.
Reproxalap is an investigational new drug candidate in development for the treatment of dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis. Reproxalap is a first-in-class small-molecule modulator of RASP (reactive aldehyde species), which is elevated in ocular and systemic inflammatory disease. The mechanism of action of reproxalap has been supported by the demonstration of statistically significant and clinically relevant activity in multiple physiologically distinct late-phase clinical indications. Reproxalap has been studied in more than 2,400 patients with no observed safety concerns; mild and transient instillation site irritation is the most commonly reported adverse event in clinical trials.
