Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare dry eye symptoms and signs between Gulf War illness (GWI) veterans and those without GWI.
- Veterans with GWI reported significantly higher dry eye symptom scores and eye pain compared to veterans without GWI, although the actual ocular surface parameters were similar between the two groups.
- Specific GWI symptoms like "nausea or upset stomach" and "headache" were linked to the increased severity of dry eye symptoms, suggesting that factors other than just tear dysfunction may contribute to eye discomfort in GWI individuals.
