Case–Control Study Examining the Composition of the Gut Microbiome in Individuals With and Without Immune-Mediated Dry Eye

Abstract

Differences in gut microbiome composition were found in individuals with mostly early markers of SS compared with controls. However, their clinical significance to DE manifestations remains unclear. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of gut dysbiosis on immune dysregulation and disease activity in the various forms of immune-mediated DE.
