“…Secondary SS coincides with connective tissue diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [1] . As with other autoimmune diseases, the prevalence of primary SS has different rates worldwide [2][3] . However, middle-aged women remain highly affected compared to men in a ratio of approximately 9:1 [2] , with a higher reported incidence in RA and SLE patients [4] .…”

AIM: To focus on different visual resolution tasks under photopic and mesopic conditions in Sjögren’s syndrome patients compared to age-matched healthy controls. METHODS: The visual resolution measurements included high and low visual acuities and contrast sensitivity functions. These tests were conducted under photopic and then mesopic conditions. Twenty-one Sjögren’s syndrome patients and 21 aged-matched healthy volunteers completed all the measurements in this study. RESULTS: Sjögren’s syndrome patients have greater impairment in contrast sensitivity than standardized visual acuity. This reduction was significant under the mesopic condition. Also, Sjögren’s syndrome patients treated with pilocarpine suffer more than patients without pilocarpine treatment under low light conditions. CONCLUSION: Sjögren’s syndrome patients shows greater impairment in different visual resolution tasks due to dry eye symptoms.
