[Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents: their topical use in the treatment of xerophthalmia secondary to Sjögren's syndrome].

The authors, in a case-control study, analyzed the topical application of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (flurbiprofene drops) in patients affected by keratoconjunctivitis sicca in Sjögren's syndrome. The variation of break-up-time values, and xerophthalmia grade were analyzed. A mild increase of mean values of break-up-time (two seconds in the treated group), and a mild decrease of xerophthalmia grade were found.
