Overview

Sjogren syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's moisture-producing glands, most notably the lacrimal glands that produce tears and the salivary glands that produce saliva. The resulting reduction in secretions causes the hallmark symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth, often accompanied by gritty or burning sensations in the eyes, difficulty swallowing or speaking, and an increased risk of dental and ocular complications. The condition can occur on its own, known as primary Sjogren syndrome, or alongside other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, and it may also involve fatigue, joint pain, and effects on other organs. Diagnosis typically draws on symptoms, blood tests for specific autoantibodies, measures of tear and saliva production, and sometimes tissue biopsy, while management focuses on relieving dryness and addressing systemic involvement. As a journal focused on ophthalmic science, this page situates Sjogren syndrome within the broader study of ocular surface disease and dry eye. The article record currently associated here does not include studies specifically examining Sjogren syndrome, so no individual papers are cited; the page instead provides an encyclopedic overview of the condition consistent with the journal's ophthalmic scope.
