Dry eye symptoms and their effects on vision-related functions were evaluated with McMonnies and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaires.

Lacrimal gland vascular activity rates and hypoechoic areas were significantly higher in pSS patients compared to the control group (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.05). The detection rates of the degree of vascularity in the lacrimal glands of patients with pSS were higher with SMI compared to CDUS and PDUS. In addition, SMI positively correlated with CDUS, PDUS, OSDI, and McMonnies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Evaluation of the lacrimal gland by the SMI was found to be excellent in predicting the likelihood of individuals having pSS compared to CDUS and PDUS.
