Most of the patients examined in the ophtalmology clinics have dry eye complaints. Dry eye patients that can be classified as mild, moderate, severe relieve by artificial tear usage for a while. Nevertheless this treatment is not a permanent solution, also in some severe patients it is not sufficient alone. In our case 55 years old male patient was a severe dry eye patient who progressed to flamentary keratitis. Previously he used many topical treatments but had no benefit and disease progressed. Topical cyclosporine A together with artificial tear was used for the patient. Flamentary keratitis was regressed obviously and signs and symptoms of the patient were improved.
