    This study compared the efficacy of ciclosporin (CsA) and sodium hyaluronate (SH) eye drops for diabetes-related dry eye syndrome after vitrectomy.

  • 2

    A total of 204 patients with diabetes-related dry eye syndrome were included, with 104 receiving CsA and 100 receiving SH eye drops postoperatively.

  • 3

    Ciclosporin eye drops showed significant improvements in noninvasive breakup time, tear meniscus height, and Schirmer I test compared to sodium hyaluronate.

  • 4

    The corneal fluorescein staining score indicated less corneal epithelial damage in the CsA group over time compared to the SH group.

  • 5

    Overall, 0.05% ciclosporin eye drops were associated with better tear film quality and stability after vitrectomy for diabetes-related dry eye syndrome.
