The aim of the study was to estimate the frequency of dry eye syndrome and to analyze the risk factors of this disease. We examined a group of 140 patients aged 24-93, suffering from dry eye syndrome. The patients were treated in the Ophthalmology Clinic in Lublin in 1999-2001. A larger number of dry eye syndrome cases was identified in female patients, especially aged over 50 (80% of female and 20% of male). Average age female cases was 67.5 and male 58.5. Patients included in to the study on made up 5.52% of total number of patients treated in the Anterior Segment Disorders Out-Patient Clinic. The frequency of dry eye syndrome in 1999 was 4.24% (female) and 0.76% (male), in 2000: 5% and 1.6%, in 2001: 5.12% and 1.1%. Systemic diseases were diagnosed in 36% of female cases with dry eye syndrome, including 22.3% rheumatoid arthritis and 9.8% Sjogren syndrome. 46.6% of male patients had systemic diseases: 32% rheumatoid arthritis, 7% Sjogren syndrome. The most frequent general medical conditions diagnosed in the group of patients were as follows: arterial hypertension (men and women) and diabetes (women). Smoking, place of living, other eye diseases and surgical operations in the eye area were examined as other potential risk factors of the dry eye syndrome. Smoking appears to stimulate the dry eye syndrome. A stable increase of total dry eye syndrome frequency was observed.
该研究的目的是评估干眼综合征的发生率，并分析该疾病的危险因素。我们检查了一组140名年龄在24至93岁之间患有干眼综合征的患者。这些患者于1999年至2001年在卢布林的眼科诊所接受治疗。女性患者中发现的干眼综合征病例较多，尤其是50岁以上的女性（女性占80%，男性占20%）。女性病例的平均年龄为67.5岁，男性为58.5岁。纳入该研究的患者占前段疾病门诊治疗患者总数的5.52%。1999年干眼综合征的发生率为4.24%（女性）和0.76%（男性），2000年为5%和1.6%，2001年为5.12%和1.1%。36%的干眼综合征女性患者被诊断出患有全身性疾病，其中类风湿性关节炎占22.3%，干燥综合征占9.8%。46.6%的男性患者患有全身性疾病：类风湿性关节炎占32%，干燥综合征占7%。在该组患者中诊断出的最常见的一般医疗状况如下：动脉高血压（男性和女性）和糖尿病（女性）。吸烟、居住地点、其他眼部疾病以及眼部手术被作为干眼综合征的其他潜在危险因素进行了检查。吸烟似乎会引发干眼综合征。观察到干眼综合征的总发生率呈稳定上升趋势。
