Official Title: Effect of Combined Antioxidant Therapy in Eye Drops on Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Tear Film in Patients With Diabetic Retinopathy and Dry Eye Syndrome

Brief Summary:

The main objective of our study is to evaluate the effect of eye drops with antioxidants on mild to moderate dry eye symptoms in patients with diabetic retinopathy, evaluating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in the tear film.

The researchers intend to include 78 patients, divided into three intervention groups, who will be randomly assigned an eye drop with antioxidants, where the patient must apply one drop in each eye for 1 month.

In the study, the characteristics of the surface of the eye will be evaluated and tear samples will be taken from each eye, before and after the intervention with the eye drops.
Subsequently, the clinical and sample results will be evaluated to compare the effects between them.
