In recent times, multiple eye diseases have been seen associated with an increase in the rate of Demodex infestationas a possible cause, but in the particular case of dry eye syndrome in patients treated with platelet-rich plasma,this increase in mite may be relevant to guide a more adequate treatment focusing on the elimination of the mite inconjunction with the recovery of the ocular ecology. The demodex mite is a commensal parasite that lives in hairfollicles, sebaceous glands and meibomian, which in a high rate of infestation can generate alterations in the oculararea. Performing an adequate diagnosis for the detection of the mite and treatment for its eradication can be effectivefor the recovery of the normal physiology of the tear film that constitutes a cause of dry eye.
