In Vivo and Impression Cytology Study on the Effect of Compatible Solutes Eye Drops on the Ocular Surface Epithelial Cell Quality in Dry Eye Patients

<div>Immunofluorescence staining of impression cytology. (a–c) Cytoplasmic MMP9 staining in conjunctival cells at baseline (a) and its significant reduction observed after 90 days of Optive (b) and Hylogel (c) therapy. (d–f) Expression of IL6 in conjunctival cells at day 0 (d) and its downmodulation at the end of the treatment in Optive (e) and Hylogel (f) groups. Original magnification ×630.</div>
