"Persantine (dipyridamole, Boehringer Ingelheim) is a cardiovascular drug that for the past 55 years has treated angina and prevented strokes, according to the press release. For the past 40 years, research has explored its use in diabetic retinopathy, ocular hypertension and retinal hemorrhage.
According to the release, in 2014 MedInsight published the first case report of a pterygium patient successfully treated with dipyridamole eye drops.
In the findings presented at the Israeli Society for Vision and Eye Research, researchers analyzed outcomes of dry eye symptoms in patients with pterygium.
Researchers utilized the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and found that there was a maximum reduction in OSDI scores averaging 52.4% during the course of treatment for 25 patients, according to the release. Certain patients reported a complete resolution of symptoms."
