To determine if topical application of naltrexone (NTX), an opioid antagonist, restores tear production and corneal sensation in rats with diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (DB) was induced with streptozotocin (STZ) in rats. Tear production was measured by the Schirmer's test, and corneal sensitivity by an aesthesiometer. Eye drops of 10−5 M NTX or sterile vehicle (SV) were administered either once only or q.i.d for 1 or 5 days; a single drop of insulin (1 U) was given once only. Dry eye and corneal insensitivity were detected in the DB rats beginning 5 weeks after STZ injection. One drop of NTX or q.i.d. for 1 or 5 days re-established tear production and corneal sensitivity within 1 hour of administration. The reversal of dry eye lasted for up to 2–3 days depending on drug regimen, but restitution of corneal sensation lasted for 4 to 7 days. Topical application of one eye drop of insulin restored corneal sensitivity within 1 hour and lasted for at least 2 days. In contrast, one eye drop of insulin did not increase tear production at 1, 24, or 48 hours compared to diabetic animals receiving SV. Topical treatment with NTX normalizes tear production and corneal sensitivity in type 1 diabetic rats. Topical application of NTX to the ocular surface may serve as an important strategy for treating dry eye and corneal anesthesia in diabetes. Its effect, if any, in other forms of decreased corneal sensitivity and/or dry eye should be investigated.
