“…53 Participants who had poor glycemic control were 2.13 times more likely to have symptomatic dry eye disease than participants with good glycemic control. This finding was consistent with the studies conducted in China, 16 Albania, 17 India, [18][19][20][21] and Egypt. 15 Uncontrolled high blood glucose damages the microvasculature of the lacrimal gland, causes autonomic neuropathy that affects the tear gland, and also disrupts the normal chemical composition and quality of the tear film by increasing the concentration of glucose in the tear film.…”

“…52 The odds of symptomatic dry eye disease for those participants with a duration of diabetes since diagnosis of 6-10 years and ≥11 years were 2.33 and 3.57 times higher than those participants with a duration of diabetes ≤5 years, respectively. This result was in line with the studies conducted in China, 5,6 Albania, 17 Iran, 23 India, [18][19][20][21]40 Pakistan, 22 and Egypt. 15 The impact of diabetes on the ocular surface is directly proportional to the duration of DM; that means as the duration of diabetes increases, diabetes could damage the accessory lacrimal gland, which leads to a reduction of basic tear secretion and instability of tear film, which facilitate the occurrence of dry eye disease in diabetic patients.…”

“…37 Duration of diabetes: was categorized as 1-5, 6-10, and ≥11 years. 21 Diabetic retinopathy: was diagnosed and classified based on the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study. 38 Meibomian gland dysfunction: was diagnosed based on the presence of at least one of the following clinical findings: excessive and abnormal secretion of the meibomian glands, telangiectasia at the posterior lid margin, frothy discharge at the lid margin or in the inner Canthi area, and pouting or obstruction of the meibomian gland orifices.…”

Symptomatic dry eye disease is a multifactorial ocular surface condition caused by disruption of the precorneal tear film and is a common clinical finding in diabetic patients. However, there was no study on the prevalence and associated factors of symptomatic dry eye disease among diabetic patients in Ethiopia or in the study area.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of symptomatic dry eye disease among adult diabetic patients in Adare General Hospital, Hawassa City, Southern Ethiopia, in 2023. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study design was conducted on 493 adult diabetic patients who were selected using systematic random sampling, from April 23 to June 8, 2023. Data were collected through a face-to-face interview using an ocular surface disease index questionnaire. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors potentially associated with symptomatic dry eye disease. Variable with a P value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 488 subjects participated in this study with a response rate of 99%. The prevalence of symptomatic dry eye disease was 34.

To compare incidence of dry eye between phacoemulsification and manual small incision cataract surgery. This observational study included two groups. Group A consisted of 30 patients who had undergone manual small incision cataract surgery and Group B consisted of 30 patients who had undergone phacoemulsification. A detailed history was taken from all paricipants before they underwent a complete systemic and ocular examination which included best corrected visual acuity, slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure, and dilated fundus examination. Tests for dry eyes likes Schirmer’s test 1, tear film break up time (TBUT), tear meniscus height (TMH) was done postoperatively at 1 week, 3 weeks and 1 month postoperative. One test positive out of three was considered as a dry eye.The values of various tear film tests schirmer’s test, tear film break up time and tear meniscus height showed no significant difference between both groups (Chi square test P Value = 0.605,0.832, 1). There was no significant difference in incidence of dry eye in manual small incision cataract surgery and phacoemulsification (Chi square test p value = 0.317). On comparing the data with respect to age and sex, no significant difference in incidence of dry eye was seen between both groups or between male and female. There is high incidence of dry eye 33.33⸓ seen in diabetic patients. (Chi square test P Value = 0.0371).There is no significant difference in incidence of dry eye between manual small incision cataract surgery and phacoemulsification. We also found out high incidence of dry eye in diabetic patients.

Aim: This study aims to study the frequency and severity of dry eye in diabetic patients and their correlation with duration of diabetes. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional prospective study was conducted on all patients with diabetes mellitus presenting to ophthalmology department of a tertiary care hospital between November 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019. The study population included diabetic patients who were above the age of 40 years. Detailed ocular history including diabetic history was recorded and comprehensive ocular clinical examination to assess the dry eye status was done. Schirmer's I test and Tear film Break-Up Time (TBUT) tests were performed and results were recorded. Results: In this study, 100 eyes of 50 diabetic patients were subjected to dry eye tests. Varying degree of dryness was seen in 34 patients (68%). Schirmer's test was abnormal (<10 mm) in 24 patients (48%) and TBUT test was abnormal (<10 s) in 34 patients (68%). Majority of patients (60%) were asymptomatic. Statistically significant association was seen between the duration of diabetes with Schirmer's I test and TBUT test (P = 0.00). Conclusion: Dry eyes are a frequent association seen in patients with diabetes. Simple noninvasive tests for dry eyes such as Schirmer's test and TBUT test should be considered as an integral part of routine examination in diabetics as these may be asymptomatic.
