Abstract
The efficiency of the treatment of dry eye disease patients with keratopathy at a subconjunctival injection of 1 % sodium hyaluronate was studied. This review describes the functions of hyaluronic acid depending on its molecular weight. The performed study shows the necessity of using the injection form of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of patients with dry eye disease.
