Our Observations on the Correlation Between Dry Eye Syndrome and Atrophic Rhinitis

This article describes the observations of dry eye syndrome (DES) manifestations in patients with atrophic (dry) nasopharyngitis. The purpose of the study was to establish a correlation between dry eye syndrome (DES) and atrophic nasopharyngitis. Standard ophthalmological methods were used for the study, including Norn’s test, Schirmer’s test, and meniscometry. The results showed that approximately half of the patients with atrophic rhinitis also exhibited dry eye symptoms. The conclusion suggests a partial correlation between DES and atrophic nasopharyngitis.
