Background:The present study was conducted for assessing the prevalence of dry eyes in diabetic patients. Materials & methods:This study involved 50 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The researchers:Assessed visual acuity and conducted slit-lamp examinations.Evaluated dry eye conditions using:-Schirmer test, - Tear Film Break-Up Time (TBUT), and - Ocular surface staining. Collected data systematically and analyzed it using Excel and SPSS software.The study likely aimed to investigate the prevalence or characteristics of dry eye conditions in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.Results:A total of 50 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes participated in the study, with an average age of 46.3 years. Of these participants, 62 percent were male and the rest were female. The prevalence of dry eyes among the cohort was noted to be 56 percent. Furthermore, an analysis using Pearson’s correlation revealed that HbA1c levels, older age, and the duration of diabetes were significant risk factors linked to the development of dry eyes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.Conclusion:Dry eye syndrome can be caused by various factors, with aging being a common contributor. While the exact mechanisms are not fully understood, autonomic dysfunction may play a significant role in its development.
