The eye damage in the children presenting with atopic dermatitis is known to occur in 20-40% of the cases. The nonspecific nature of the ophthalmological symptoms of this pathology markedly complicates differential diagnostics and the choice of the pathogenetically-based therapeutic modalities. This article describes the clinical cases that demonstrate the seriousness of this problem and illustrate the necessity of the comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to its solution. It is concluded that the use of the “Restasis” pharmaceutical for the treatment of dry eye syndrome associated with atopic dermatitis in the young patients is justified as contributing to a stable remission of the disorder and producing no undesirable side effects.
