Objective: To observe the clinical effect of treatment of xerophthalmia by artificial tears and pranoprofen after glaucoma surgery. Methods: Ninety cases of patients with xerophthalmia after glaucoma surgery admitted to our hospital from May 2017 to March 2019 were selected as experimental samples and divided into control group (n=45) and study group (n=45) by single or double number method. The control group was treated with artificial tears while the treatment of the study group was associated with pranoprofen on the basis of the former treatment. The clinical effects of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The total effective rate of the control group was significantly lower than that of the study group (P < 0.05). The tear film rupture time and lacrimal gland secretion test of the two groups after treatment were more than those before treatment, the fluorescein staining score was lower than that before treatment, and the change degree of the study group was better than that of the control group, with statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of both artificial tears and pranoprofen has good therapeutic effect on xerophthalmia after glaucoma surgery, which is conducive to promoting the recovery of tear film function and worthy of further popularization.
