[Treatment of chronic blepharokeratoconjunctivitis with local calcineurin inhibitors]
Abstract
Topical calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporin A 1%, FK506, pimecrolimus) can be useful for treating chronic blepharokeratoconjunctivitis in addition to lid hygiene and lubricants. This treatment leads to an improvement of dry eye symptoms and reduces inflammation.
