简要总结
The purpose is to compare the prevalence of dry eyes in diabetics and non diabetics. This might help identify a group of patients at greater risk for dry eye complications. Diabetics have been shown to have poor ocular surface healing and might benefit from dry eye therapy earlier if they are shown to be at greater risk for dry eyes.
详细描述
Dry eye disease is one of the most common eye problems seen in ophthalmology. Diabetics are at high risk for multiple eye problems, including retinopathy and glaucoma. They also have been shown to have poor ocular surface healing. I would like to evaluate the prevalence of dry eye disease in diabetics to see if they are also at greater risk for the known complications of dry eye disease. If so, they might benefit from early intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Conjunctival Staining Score
时间窗: at the time of the evaluation
Conjunctival staining with lissamine green dye is measured at the time of the evaluation on a scale from 0 to 5 using the oxford scoring system, with 5 being the most severe staining.
次要结局
- Tear Film Osmolarity(at the time of the exam)
