Prevalence of Dry Eyes in Diabetics Compared to Non Diabetics

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Dry Eyes

In brief

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.
