Abstract :
Introduction– Dry eye is a common disorder in ophthalmology. Diabetes is a major cause of decreased corneal sensation which is a risk factor for dry eye. Purpose: Our aim is to study the prevalence of dry eye in diabetic subjects and to study the tear film abnormalities Materials methods: 100 eyes of 50 diabetic patients were examined after thorough history taking. schirmer’s test, lissamine green staining, tear film eak up time was done along with evaluation of anterior segment. Results: 27% of patients had dry eye disease. 62% had TBUT abnormalities.4% had lissamine dye staining positive . Conclusion: In this study tear film eak up abnormalities were more commonly seen in diabetic patients. This may indicate unstable tear film with normal aqueous tear production. TBUT can be used for early detection of mild dry eye in these patients
