This is a new guideline from NICE advising that ciclosporin ophthalmic emulsion (Ikervis) can be used for treating dry eye disease that hasn’t responded to artificial tears. It has an anti-inflammatory effect on the cornea and lacrimal gland. The marketing authorisation is for treating severe keratitis in adult patients with dry eye disease.
"I can highly recommend LocumDeck – it’s easy to use, I can book certain GPs instantly and see their availability in the calendar and I like that I don’t have to go to a separate website to complete the Locum A form. LocumDeck works very well for our practice."
