Sleep Disturbances and Dry Eye Symptoms and Signs, Systemic Conditions, and Inflammatory Markers in the Dry Eye Assessment and Management Study
Sleep disturbances were associated with older age, smoking history, systemic diseases, and higher dendritic cell concentration among patients with moderate-to-severe DED. These findings support further investigation of sleep disturbances as a comorbidity of patients with DED. Additional research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this relationship.
