Dry eye due to Sjogren’s syndrome

Dry eyes are a daily experience for many people, and in most cases, a little rest with some sodium vitrate drops and other artificial tears can provide relief. However, some dryness is persistent, recurring, and has a negative impact on work and life. Among all possibilities resulting in dry eye syndrome, dry eye syndrome caused by Sjogren’s syndrome is more complex. Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disease that causes dry eyes that can lead to corneal ulcers. Collaborative diagnosis and medication and physical therapy by ophthalmologists and rheumatologists can bring relief from this dry eye condition.
