Comment on Ask HN: Itchy eyes, any ideas / suggestions?

Comments

Your wife might be too young for this, but it's worth getting tested for Sjögren's syndrome, in order to rule it out. Sjögren's syndrome can cause dry itchy eyes.

It's estimated to affect about 1-4 million people in the United States. (Mostly women 40-60, sometimes younger) It is an autoimmune disorder.

Thank you but I looked up the symptoms and she only really has the dry eyes, thank goodness! That sounds like a difficult one to manage.
