Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is one of the dry eye syndromes characterized by a deficiency of the aqueous layer of the tear film. The disorder may occur as an isolated entity or in association with a variety of local and systemic conditions affecting aqueous production. Often it follows a mild course but in severe cases, complications resulting in blindness may occur. In this paper, the clinical features, diagnostic strategies, and current treatment of KCS will be covered. Etiologies, including a discussion of the Sjögren syndrome, will also be presented.
干燥性角结膜炎（KCS）是干眼综合征之一，其特征是泪膜水液层缺乏。该病症可能作为一种独立的疾病出现，也可能与影响水液分泌的各种局部和全身状况相关。它通常病程较轻，但在严重情况下，可能会出现导致失明的并发症。本文将涵盖干燥性角结膜炎的临床特征、诊断策略和当前的治疗方法。还将介绍病因，包括对干燥综合征的讨论。
