The John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah, in partnership with the Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation, sponsored a free symposium on chronic dry eyes and rheumatological symptoms associated with Sjogren's Syndrome Saturday, March 10, 2007 from 9:00 AM until noon. The event was open to the general public and was held in the Moran Eye Center's first-floor auditorium, located directly east of University of Utah Hospital. More than 100 people attended the event.

Sjogren's Syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which immune cells attack and destroy the glands that produce tears and saliva. Roughly one million Americans are diagnosed with the disease that primarily impacts women. The disease is often associated with rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, polymyositis, and scleroderma.
