Optimmune Ointment is used to treat dry eye in dogs, also referred to as Keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Optimmune is an immunosuppressive agent used to reduce inflammation in the eye. Optimmune Ointment can also be used for inflammation in superficial keratitis. To use Optimmune Ointment, remove any debri with a non-irritating solution. Then apply a ¼ inch strip of Optimmune Ointment to the affected eye or eyes every 12 hours. The Optimmune Ointment should be placed directly on the cornea or into the conjunctival sac. Dogs afflicted with KCS or CSK will most likely require lifelong consistent therapy. Each gram of this sterile eye ointment contains 2 mg of Optimmune Ointment.

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca is caused by inadequate tear production in dogs. The dog’s eyes typically develop a thick, yellowish discharge which is a sign of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Infections then become common from the lack of tear production, which then allows bacterial organisms to overgrow in the eye. Dust and pollen also build up with the lack of lubrication, which usually flushes those foreign particles away, leading to dry eye and infection. Some breeds are predisposed to dry eye, these include: American cocker spaniel, Pug, Pekingese, Shih Tzu, Lhaso Apso, Bulldog, and the West Highland White Terrior. Dry eye is diagnosed by the veterinarian by an eye exam and a Schirmer tear test. The Schirmer tear test is performed by sticking a small strip of absorbent paper in the corner of the eyelid to evaluate the level of tear production in the eye. The use of Optimmune Ointment significantly increases the amount of tear production. Dogs that do not have their condition treated will continue to have pain and irritation of the eye.
