Popis: Cyclosporine A, a cyclic polypeptide, exhibits potent immunosuppressive activity and exerts its effects through various mechanisms including immunosuppression, anti-inflammatory, inhibition of apoptosis, promotion of epithelial healing and goblet cell function recovery, enhancement of tear secretion, and close association with ocular surface disease repair. Owing to its significant efficacy, inhibition of disease recurrence and few side effects, the clinical application of cyclosporine A in the management of ocular surface diseases, including dry eye, corneal graft rejection following penetrating keratoplasty, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, noninfective keratitis and herpes simplex virus keratitis, has witnessed a substantial rise in recent years. Nevertheless, variations exist in the management of ocular surface inflammatory diseases when utilizing distinct concentrations and dosage forms of cyclosporine A. Therefore, the paper provides an overview of impacts of cyclosporine A on ocular surface diseases.
