背景-糖尿病患者经常主诉干眼症状，如烧灼感和/或异物感。本研究的目的是探讨糖尿病是否与泪膜功能障碍和/或泪液分泌不足有关。（年龄和性别匹配）我们进行泪液分泌的荧光光度测定，Schirmer试验，结果与健康对照组相比，糖尿病患者的泪液分泌试验读数降低（-37%，p
Background-Diabetic patients often complain of dry eye symptoms, such as burning and/or foreign body sensation. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether diabetes mellitus is correlated with tear film dysfunction and/or tear hyposecretion.Methods-In 86 consecutive insulin dependent diabetics with retinopathy and 84 non-diabetic controls (age and sex matched) we performed fluorophotometry of tear secretion, the Schirmer test, and impression cytology of the conjunctival epithelium and determined the tear film break up time.Results-When compared with the healthy control group diabetics showed decreased Schirmer test readings (-37%, p
