Pauper: It is a comparison between the effectiveness and effects of aqueous drops and gel drops in treating dry eye, with a focus on evaluating their effectiveness and side effects.
Methods: A study on dry eye was conducted using aqueous drops and gel drops based on the opinions of doctors and patients, with an analysis of previous studies comparing them in terms of ease of use, duration of effect, and side effects.
Resultes: The results showed that aqueous drops are effective but their effect is not long-lasting and may cause some burning and redness, while gel drops are more effective in keeping the eye moist for a longer period. Based on this, it was concluded that gel drops provide a better treatment option for dry eye patients.
