Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Die Keratoconjunctivitis sicca ist eine der häufigsten Diagnosen in der Augenheilkunde. Eine Vielzahl von subjektiven und objektiven Testverfahren mit ungenauen Grenzbereichen und unterschiedlich hohen Sensitivitäten und Spezifitäten erschwert die Diagnostik. Gerade geringe bis moderate pathologische Befunde können so fehldiagnostiziert werden. In den letzten Jahren haben sich durch die Entwicklung neuer, klinisch einfach einsetzbarer Diagnostikgeräte bspw. für die Analyse der Tränenfilmosmolarität oder der Matrixmetalloproteinasen (MMP-9) neue Optionen ergeben. Der Stellenwert der Tränenfilmosmolarität und der Bestimmung der MMP-9-Werte in der Diagnostik des trockenen Auges und seiner Subformen wird diskutiert und anhand publizierter Studienergebnisse objektiv zu bewerten versucht.

Abstract

Dry eye disease is one of the most common diagnoses in ophthalmology. A variety of subjective and objective test methods with imprecise limits and highly different sensitivities and specificities complicate the diagnosis. Especially mild to moderate pathological findings can be misdiagnosed. In recent years, new options have opened, through the development of new, clinical practicable diagnostic equipment, for example, for the analysis of tear film osmolarity or matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-9). The value of tear film osmolarity and determination of MMP-9 levels in the diagnosis of dry eye and its subtypes will be discussed and evaluated objectively, on the basis of published study results.
