Study Overview
Brief Summary
Rheumatoid arthritic is a chronic inflammatory condition. The occurrence of dry eye disease cannot be correlated with the severity of RA, so the evaluation of the DED should be done in all patients of RA regardless of the severity
My study plans to determine the proportion of dry eye disease and ocular surface damage in patients of Rheumatoid arthritis.It also plans to determine the Clinical and laboratory correlates of DED. It also plans to compare which subjective and/or objective test can detect the largest number of RA patient who have dry eye disease.
