Electron microscopic study of conjunctiva in two cases of Sjögren's syndrome showed decrease in height and number of microvilli and lack of branching. Following immunosuppressive treatment, an increase in height, number and branching of conjunctival microvilli was observed. Notwithstanding the lack of influence on tear secretion, immunosuppressive drugs are of benefit in the treatment of ocular manifestations of Sjögren's syndrome. The increase in number, height and branching of microvilli enlarge the surface of the conjunctiva and thus improve the efficacy of artificial tears.
对两例干燥综合征患者结膜进行的电子显微镜研究显示，微绒毛的高度和数量减少且无分支。免疫抑制治疗后，观察到结膜微绒毛的高度、数量及分支增加。尽管对泪液分泌无影响，但免疫抑制药物在干燥综合征眼部表现的治疗中有益。微绒毛数量、高度及分支的增加扩大了结膜表面，从而提高了人工泪液的疗效。
