Inflammation and Dry Eye• Dry eye was originally considered to be simply a lack,
or diminishment, of tear production• We now know that inflammation plays a critical role
in the pathophysiology• This is supported by clinical data using anti-
inflammatory therapies which lead to significant amelioration of the signs and symptoms of DED

Propose• Given that IL-1–mediated mechanisms play a
critical role in corneal inflammation, we propose that local blockade of IL-1 may offer a novel approach to the management of dry eye disease

Induction of Dry Eye Disease• Controlled Environment Chamber
– humidity below 25%– constant temperature of 21-23ºC– airflow of 15 L/minute
• Topical atropine and SC scopolamine

Conclusion• IL-1Ra ameliorates dry eye disease comparable to
methylprednisolone– Signs: CFS scores were significantly improved
• Our data suggests that this is due to the marked inhibition of corneal inflammation:– Down regulated levels of IL-1β mRNA– Reduced infiltration of macrophages– Inhibition of lymphangiogenesis
• Thus the use of topical IL-1Ra appears to be a promising therapeutic modality to dry eye disease and possibly in other inflammatory conditions of the cornea and ocular surface
