Abstract:
PURPOSE:To evaluate the effect on lacrimal function and ocular complications in patients with severe acne vulgaris during systemic treatment with 13-cis-retinoic acid (isotretinoin). METHODS:Forty patients with acne vulgaris were treated with systemic isotretinoin at dosages of 0.5-1 mg/kg per day for two months. Full ophthalmologic examination, Schirmer I test, fluorescein break-up (BUT) and microbiological investigations of the conjunctival flora were done before, during the second month and at least one month after the end of the treatment. RESULTS:The average Schirmer values before and after the treatment were 21.6 mm/5 minutes (SD +/- 7.01) and 18.48 mm/5 minutes (SD +/- 7.87) respectively. After the treatment BUT was less than 10 seconds in 50% of the patients and 55% had blepharitis. Subjective symptoms like dryness, itching and contact lens intolerance occurred in 42.5% and colonization of the conjunctiva by Staphylococcus aureus increased significantly during treatment (p= 0.031). All abnormal findings disappeared one month after the cessation of treatment. DISCUSSION:Isotretinoin causes signs and symptoms of dry eye, probably by reducing meibomian gland function, but ocular complications are generally not serious when low doses are used for a limited time, and are reversible after discontinuation.
