Sjögren's Syndrome
Chronic autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks moisture-producing glands.
Overview
Sjögren's syndrome damages the glands that produce tears and saliva, causing profound dryness. It frequently accompanies other autoimmune diseases and carries systemic effects well beyond dry eyes and mouth.
How we treat it
We confirm diagnosis with antibody testing and gland assessment, manage symptoms aggressively to protect eyes and teeth, and monitor for systemic involvement.
