Abstract

The clinical and epidemiological features of the «dry eye» syndrome in patients with diabetes mellitus were studied. According to the data of visits to the outpatient department, the prevalence of this syndrome among patients with diabetes mellitus was 58.2±5.3%, among patients with an ophthalmological profile – 43.7±3.8% (p≤0.05). All patients were diagnosed with corneal-conjunctival xerosis of varying severity as: muco-filamentous discharge in the lower conjunctival fornix (in 61.1% of patients), reduction/absence of the meniscus at the edges of the eyelids (53.7%), local edema of the bulbar conjunctiva (35.8%), roughness and dullness of the cornea (30.5%). Significant discrepancies were found in the rates of tear production disorders depending on the severity of the clinical course of diabetes mellitus (p≤0.05), because of which diabetes mellitus can be considered as a aggravating factor for corneal-conjunctival xerosis.
