Özet

Purpose: To analyse the association between skin score with corneal biomechanics and dry eye tests in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: 112 cases (limited SSc (lcSSc), n=50; diffuse SSc? (dcSSc), n=32; controls, n=30) were included in the study. Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Schirmer 1, 2 tests, OSDI score and modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) were evaluated. Results: There was correlation between the mRSS and CH (p?=?0.004, r?=??0.402; p?
