Abstract
Treatment for breast cancer in women promotes the dry eye syndrome and its worsening during chemo- and hormonotherapy courses, this fact being warranted by dry eye syndrome diagnostic tests. It is the authors’ opinion, that the dry eye syndrome treatment using a Cyclosporine A based medication in combination with artificial tears leads to considerable improvement. I case of inflammatory component overlay (redness, eye pain at ocular movements), such therapy is most effective. In all patients, the treatment was well tolerated, with positive dynamics noted. After a local treatment course, dry eye syndrome diagnostic tests’ results reached normal values.
