To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Smart Plug lacrimal plug in the treatment of dry eye.
Twenty-nine patients with dry eyes (58 eyes) were treated with Smart Plug lacrimal plug. All the patients were follow up for 6-10 months (average 7.8 months). Schirmer I test (SIT), tear break-up time (TBUT) and corneal fluorescein staining were used for evaluation of the clinical efficacy.
The SIT was 3.35∓2.60 mm and 6.35∓4.15 mm, TBUT was 3.14∓1.22 s and 5.46∓1.26 s, and corneal fluorescein staining was 2.15∓0.09 and 0.05∓0.01 before and after the treatment, respectively (P<0.05). The subjective symptoms were improved in most of the patients.
Smart Plug lacrimal plug is effective in the treatment of dry eye due to aqueous tear deficiency, and can be one of the choice of dry eye treatment.
评估智能泪点塞治疗干眼的临床疗效。
对29例干眼患者（58只眼）采用智能泪点塞进行治疗。所有患者随访6 - 10个月（平均7.8个月）。采用泪液分泌试验Ⅰ（SIT）、泪膜破裂时间（TBUT）及角膜荧光素染色评估临床疗效。
治疗前SIT为3.35±2.60mm，治疗后为6.35±4.15mm；治疗前TBUT为3.14±1.22秒，治疗后为5.46±1.26秒；治疗前角膜荧光素染色为2.15±0.09，治疗后为0.05±0.01（P<0.05）。大多数患者主观症状得到改善。
智能泪点塞治疗水液缺乏型干眼有效，可作为干眼治疗的选择之一。
