Sjögrens Syndrome Sjögrens Syndrome causes patients immune - TopicsExpress

Sjögrens Syndrome Sjögrens Syndrome causes patients immune cells to attack moisture-producing glands resulting in dry eye, which is one of the early and hallmark symptoms of the disease. Many Sjögrens patients first see their eyecare practitioner with dry eye symptoms which are often mistaken for routine dry eye. It is estimated that more than 20 million patients aged 40 years and older suffer from dry eyes in the U.S., and as many as 1 in 10 dry eye patients may also have Sjögrens Syndrome. Eyecare practitioners are therefore in a unique position to help identify patients with Sjögrens Syndrome. Currently, there is an average delay of 4.7 years for patients to receive an accurate diagnosis, and patients are often diagnosed in late stages of the disease after gland degradation has taken effect. Earlier detection is important to allow time for proper management and to help avoid further complications.
