[Glaucoma and the dry eye syndrome]

P Follmann, E Túri

    Klinische Monatsblatter Fur Augenheilkunde
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dry eye syndrome affects 4.43% of primary glaucoma patients, often developing during treatment. Glaucoma patients with dry eyes showed distinct demographic and clinical differences compared to those without glaucoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Dry Eye Syndrome Research
    • Glaucoma Studies

    Context:

    • The Budapest Eye Clinic treated 2,436 primary glaucoma patients over ten years.
    • Dry eye syndrome (DES) was observed in 4.43% (108 patients).
    • DES developed during conservative glaucoma treatment in 42 cases.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of dry eye syndrome in primary glaucoma patients.
    • To compare clinical and demographic features of glaucoma patients with DES versus those without.
    • To identify potential links between glaucoma treatments and DES development.

    Summary:

    • A significant percentage of glaucoma patients exhibit dry eye symptoms, with some cases emerging during treatment.
    • Glaucoma patients with dry eyes were predominantly male and less likely to have generalized diseases associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
    • Diagnostic tests revealed differences: a lower positive Schirmer test rate and higher corneal staining with bengal rose in glaucoma patients with dry eyes.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest a unique presentation of dry eye syndrome in glaucoma patients, potentially influenced by treatment.
    • Highlights the importance of monitoring for dry eye complications in glaucoma management.
    • Electron microscopy revealed conjunctival epithelial cell changes in glaucoma patients with dry eyes, warranting further investigation.
