“…This causes there to still be an influence of smartphone use before the research was carried out on the pre-test Schirmer test measurement results so some research subjects experienced an increase in the Schirmer test measurement results after the research. 12 There are several limitations in carrying out this research. Control of several variables that have the potential to be confounding is still limited.…”

“…11 Kamil et al (2020) stated that dryness in the tears occurs after 1 hour of smartphone use. 12 Smartphones as an example of a Visual Display Terminal emit light through a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) which has a wavelength of 400-490 nm and has an emission peak in the blue light range. 13,14 Increasing the screen brightness level increases the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which trigger inflammatory mediators in the cornea.…”

Background: Smartphone use is increasing over time and often causes Dry Eye Syndrome (DES). Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by loss of homeostasis and causes various ocular symptoms. The Schirmer test is a measurement of the tears quantity to diagnose DES. Objective: To determine the effect of smartphone use on the results of Schirmer test measurements. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test and post-test design. The research subjects consisted of 36 students selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria using consecutive sampling. The experimental group (n=18) used a smartphone for 2 hours by watching the video (film), while the control group (n=18) did not use the smartphone. Schirmer tests were carried out before and after observation for 5 minutes using Schirmer paper strips. Statistical tests used the Shapiro-Wilk test with a meaning value of p ≥ 0,05, Chi-square test, Paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann-Whitney test with a meaning value of p < 0,05. Results: There was a significant decrease in the Schirmer test results (p = 0,020) by 1,334 ± 0,8937 mm in the experimental group and a non-significant increase (p = 0,582) in the control group by 0,362 ± 0,4086 mm. There was a significant difference in the decrease of Schirmer test results between the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0,048). Conclusion: The use of smartphones influences the decrease in Schirmer test measurement results.

COVID-19, highly infectious, respiratory illness caused by SARS-CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus. It has devastating effects with high mortality.Infection become worse in patients with pre-existing medical conditions. Hospitals increased the number of critical care units in order to stabilize the pandemic's crisisand to minimize person to person transmission, installation of telemedicine networks, distant workers and internet-based health visits. Objective: To assess the acceptability, attitude and utilization towards telemedicine among COVID19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: In Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan, a telemedicine network was quickly set during COVID-19 epidemic. A descriptive cross-sectional study comprising 144 study subjects aged between 34-58 year who seek telemedicine problems of surgery, cardiology, ENT, dermatology, gynaecology and obstetrics, pulmonology, medicine and paediatrics. Results: Out of 144 study subjectswith telemedicine consultation percent distribution of ENT and pulmonology was (48) 33.3% followed by medicine, gynaecology and obstetrics, dermatology, pediatrics and surgery.Patient’s satisfaction level was 62.5% in cardiac patients. In department of gynaecology and obstetrics patients satisfaction towards telemedicine was 88.9%, (65%) patients in medicine were satisfied, followed by surgery 41.7%. Gender wise distribution showed 64.1% males were satisfied followed by 61.3% females Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic is creating a historic global challenge for health care providers, patients, and societies. Telemedicine is now widely available at low-cost, and broadly acceptable by physicians and patients. Current study highlights the use of telemedicine and effective applications throughout COVID-19 crisis. Telemedicine played an important role for medical practitioners to manage the COVID-19 situation. Keywords: Telemedicine, COVID-19, Pandemics, Crisis, Gynaecology and Obstetrics
