Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of dry eye in thyroid disorder patients. Methods: 100 thyroid disorder patients were enrolled in a prospective observational cross-sectional study conducted over a period of two years. Each patient's thyroid status was meticulously documented, and ophthalmological tests were conducted to quantify dry eye symptoms. Results: The prevalence of dry eye in thyroid disorders was determined to be 63%. 52% of patients were hyperthyroid, 31% were hypothyroid, and 17% were euthyroid. Dry eye was associated with exophthalmos and lid retraction (p<0.05). Conclusion: Thyroid disorder patients are at a higher risk for developing ocular surface complications.
