Two thirds of the patients were female and the mean age of the patients was 13.1 years (range 10&ndash;16) and the mean duration of arthritis was six years (SD 4, 4). Thirty-one percent of the patients had a history of uveitis. Dry eye was defined as Schirmer test score &le;5 mm in five minutes. The type of arthritis, a history of uveitis, and the ocular and systemic medication used were evaluated for their correlation with dry eye symptoms and signs by using chi-square tests and the Mann&ndash;Whitney Monte Carlo analysis.Results: Altogether 17% of this cohort had decreased basal tear secretion. The most common symptoms of dry eye were discharge secretion, itching, and watering. The intensity of symptoms and signs did not correlate. The type of arthritis, a history or presence of uveitis, and the medication used did not correlate with the occurrence of dry eyes.Conclusion: Dry eye symptoms and signs are common in JIA, and Schirmer test with anesthetic is a useful tool in evaluating these patients.Keywords: dry eyes, Schirmer test, juvenile idiopathic arthritis Kaisu M KotaniemiPirjo M SalomaaKristiina Sihto-KauppiHanna M S&auml;il&auml;Markku J KauppiDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2009, Iss default, Pp 271-275 (2009)
