Résumé

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dietary lentil capsules in patients suffering from dry eye symptoms. A randomized, triple-blind, interventional, placebo-controlled study was done. Sixty patients were randomized in two groups to receive either one capsule containing 500 mg of lentil powder or placebo daily for 3 months. UCVA, tear film breakup time (TBUT), Schirmer's test, tear film osmolarity, and OSDI score were recorded at baseline and 3 months after intervention. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS for Windows version 20 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). In the lentil group, at baseline, the mean UCVA (LogMAR), OSDI, TBUT (S), tear film osmolarity (mOsm/L), and Schirmer (mm) scores were 0.104 (0.026), 22.66 (19.40), 10.31 (5.32), 301.07 (15.57), and 8.22 (6.87), respectively. These values were 0.101 (0.026), 20.85 (19.44), 13.04 (7.11), 299.81 (11.60), and 9.87 (10.11). In the placebo group, these values were 0.084 (0.027), 25.35 (20.08), 10.56 (4.95), 299.77 (15.09), and 9.35 (8.06) at baseline and 3 months later were 0.077 (0.027), 23.32 (22.90), 13.62 (6.30), 297.54 (12.08), and 8.64 (9.60), respectively. Three patients (one in the lentil group and two in the placebo group) experienced severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Although consumption of 500 mg of lentil is safe, this amount is not sufficient for reduction of dry eye syndrome in 3 months. For more validation, a clinical study with increased dosage of lentil is proposed.
