Steroids showed no clear difference in change in patient‐reported symptom scores (lower is favored) compared with lubricants (moderate certainty).
Steroids showed no clear difference in change in TBUT (seconds) (longer is favored) compared with cyclosporine A (low certainty).
Steroids showed no clear difference in change in fluorescein corneal staining scores (lower is favored) compared with cyclosporine A (low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether steroids changes change in tear osmolarity (mOsm/kg) (lower is favored) compared with cyclosporine A (very low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether steroids changes adverse effect: incident elevated IOP ( compared with cyclosporine A (very low certainty).
The review found no eligible studies for this question.
