Abstract: Purpose To determine whether altered eating habits and periods, especially the pre-dawn meal, during Ramadan fasting have any significant effect on intraocular pressure (IOP), tear secretion, corneal and anterior chamber parameters. Methods IOP, basal tear secretion (BTS), reflex tear secretion (RTS), and Pentacam measurements of 31 healthy volunteers were performed at 0800 and 1600 hours during Ramadan fasting and 1 month later during non-fasting period. Results Comparison of measurements between fasting and … Show more

“…Investigators have hypothesized that the daily fluid loading at the pre-dawn meal as well as the significant dehydration associated with fasting may impact tear measurements. One study concluded that religious fasting had no effect of tear volume and stability (Kayikcioglu et al, 1999) whilst the other showed an increased tear secretion rate following the pre-dawn meal during Ramadan (Kerimoglu et al, 2010). Associated changes in symptoms, other clinical indicators or the tear film composition were unfortunately not investigated (Kayikcioglu et al, 1999;Kerimoglu et al, 2010).…”

Associated changes in symptoms, other clinical indicators or the tear film composition were unfortunately not investigated (Kayikcioglu et al, 1999;Kerimoglu et al, 2010). One study attempted to use high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to study the effect of strict fasting on tear composition (Sariri et al, 2010).…”

“…[73] A recent multicenter study evaluated the most commonly used clinical tools to grade severity of DED and concluded that there is a significant overlap in symptom severity scores amongst the prospectively defined normal subjects and patients with DED[70]. In addition, technical variations in measurement, variable conditions while conducting the tests,[74] and potential diurnal variation of tear parameters,[75-77] may all lead to increased variability of these tests.…”
