| Abstrakt: | Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic and progressive disorder involving the ocular surface, characterized by disturbances in tear film composition, instability of the tear film, and inflammation of the ocular surface. There are two forms of DED: aqueous-deficient dry eye (ADDE) and evaporative dry eye (EDE). Autoimmune diseases are systemic disorders involving multiple organs, including the eyes, and have a significant impact on DED. There have been multiple studies demonstrating the relation between autoimmune diseases and DED. This article reviews the current knowledge regarding the epidemiological characteristics, pathogenesis, and treatments of autoimmune disease-related DED. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2023, Kılıççıoğlu et al.) |
