There was a strong positive correlation between dry eyes and dry skin (r = 0.74, p<0.05). The study also identified a significant association between dry eyes and dry skin (χ2 = 8.34, p = 0.0038). Gender showed a significant association with dry eyes (χ2 = 4.76, p<0.05), and age showed a significant association with dry skin (χ2 = 52.57, p<0.05).
