    Perfluorohexyloctane (F6H8), a physically and chemically inert synthetic compound, has recently emerged as a promising candidate for the treatment of DED due to its unique properties. A systematic review that only include full-length randomized controlled studies (RCTs), reporting the effects of F6H8 in three databases, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The search period was performed between June 1, 2023, and June 21, 2023. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to analyze the quality of the studies selected. A total of six RCTs were included in this systematic review. F6H8 tear substitutes treatment achieved a higher improvement than control group interventions in most of the reported variables. The mean differences between both groups were in favor of F6H8 and were as follow: eye dryness score (EDS) base on a visual analogue scale (VAS) of −6.12 ± 4.3 points, ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire score of −2.8 ± 2.3 points, lipid layer thickness (LLT) of 11.4 ± 10.4 μm, total corneal fluorescein staining (tCFS) of −0.8 ± 0.3 points and ocular treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of −0.66 ± 1.7. Tear film break-up time (TBUT) was the only variable in favor of control group with a mean of −0.5 ± 0.4 s. Patient satisfaction after F6H8 tear substitutes treatment was high. Therefore, F6H8 tear substitutes improve dry eye symptoms and signs with a satisfactory tolerability and could be recommended in patients with DED.
