Relevance. IDry eye syndrome, which is one of the main symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome, significantly worsensthe quality of life of patients. One of the key directions in the treatment of severe dry eye syndrome in patients with Sjogren'ssyndrome is the creation of obstacles to the outflow of tear fluid from the conjunctival cavity. Purpose of the study. The aim ofthe study was to evaluate the efficacy of lacrimal duct occlusion in patients with Sjögren's syndrome. Materials and methods.Clinical material was collected at the Multidisciplinary Clinic of the Tashkent Medical Academy and the Innovative Clinic ofDr. Maksudova during 2023-2024. The study included 9 patients (18 eyes) with Sjögren's syndrome. All patients underwentboth standard ophthalmologic and specialized diagnostic methods: subjective evaluation of dryness symptoms (SESoD) ona 5-point scale, Schirmer’s test, and tear film stability assessment (Norn test). Results. The dynamic results of our studydemonstrated the clinical and functional efficacy of surgical intervention. The average results of Schirmer's test and the Norntest in dynamics were statistically insignificant, whereas the severity of subjective symptoms assessed using the SESoDquestionnaire was significantly lower in patients after surgery. Conclusion. The method of lacrimal duct occlusion contributesto the positive dynamics of subjective symptoms of dry eye syndrome (DES) in Sjögren's syndrome, reducing the need forfrequent instillation of artificial tears and improving the quality of life of patients.
