However, mild ocular surface disorders, such as dry eye disease, have often been overlooked, with a previous study showing that 51.3% of diabetes-related dry eye disease cases remained underdiagnosed. Among systemic diseases, diabetes mellitus and obesity have been associated with an increased risk of developing dry eye disease. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes leads to microvascular damage, including corneal neuropathy and reduced tear production, conditions that can disrupt ocular surface health, while systemic inflammation and meibomian g
