Number of conjunctival goblet cells in the CsA and FML patients at baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment. (A) Conjunctival goblet cells were stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain. The arrow indicates a PAS-positive cell (bar = 100 μm). a: Conjunctival goblet cells in the FML group before treatment. b: Conjunctival goblet cells after 8 weeks of FML treatment. c: Conjunctival goblet cells in the CsA group before treatment. d: Conjunctival goblet cells after 8 weeks of CsA treatment. (B) Density of PAS-positive conjunctival goblet cells. +Significantly different from the baseline value (FML group: P < 0.001 at weeks 4 and 8; CsA group: P < 0.001 at weeks 4 and 8). No significant intergroup difference was observed at any time point (P = 0.653 at week 4; P = 0.934 at week 8). CsA = cyclosporine, FML = fluorometholone, W = week.
