Association between dry eye disease and asthma: a nationwide population-based study.

Our findings reveal that patients with asthma-particularly females-were more likely to have DED, with comorbidities such as allergic rhinitis and urticaria, and prescriptions including LTRAs, antihistamines, and inhaled corticosteroids. The results suggest that in clinical practice, physicians should pay attention to DED, particularly in patients with a high risk of DED.
