“…Also, Hyon et al (2019) indicated that long-term computer use was possibly associated with an increased risk of DED. In addition, Bayhan et al (2014) reported that OSDI scores were significantly higher in the group using computers for a long time. Gajta et al (2015) concluded that VDT use for more than 8 h daily has been identified as a significant risk factor for dry eyes.…”

Introduction Working in closed wards at hospitals during night-time shifts and using electronic health records may raise the risk of dry eye disease in nurses. Objective The purpose of the current study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of dry eye disease among hospital nurses in the North West Bank, Palestine. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study. The study included 300 nurses who work at hospitals in the North West Bank, Palestine. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire on dry eye disease was used to estimate the prevalence of symptomatic dry eye disease. Results The percentage of dry eye disease prevalence among study participants was 62% with an OSDI score of >13 (mild to moderate and severe OSDI status). Nurses who wore contact lenses worked during the night-time, and worked in the intensive care unit were more likely to report significantly higher OSDI scores ( p < .05). Moreover, gender, smoking, and computer use were not statistically associated with dry eye disease ( p > .05). Conclusion Symptomatic dry eye disease is one of the most common ocular diseases among hospital nurses in Palestine.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on the meibomian glands, ocular surface, and tear parameters. Methods: The study included 59 individuals (32 subjects with OSAHS, 27 control subjects) who underwent polysomnography in the Chest Diseases Clinic. The right eyes of all individuals were evaluated in the Ophthalmology Clinic. The first noninvasive tear break-up time (f-NTBUT) and the average noninvasive tear break-up time were measured, and Schirmer test was applied. Meibography was taken (Sirius; CSO, Florence, Italy), and meiboscore was used for indexing meibography. Finally, a sample was taken for conjunctival impression cytology. Results: In the study and control groups, the median of f-NTBUT was 2.1 seconds [interquartile range (IQR); 1.5–5.0] and 5.7 seconds (IQR; 2.9–8.8) and the median of average noninvasive tear break-up time was 5.6 seconds (IQR; 3.6–9.5) and 7.2 seconds (IQR; 4.2–10.7), respectively (P = 0.007 and P = 0.487, respectively). The mean Schirmer value was 16.3 ± 5.9 mm (range; 5–25) and 17.3 ± 6.6 mm (range; 5–30) in the study and control groups (P = 0.604). In upper eyelid meibography, the median of loss in the meibomian glands was 20.10% (IQR; 11.60%–40.80%) in the study group and 14.70% (IQR; 10.40%–21.30%) in the control group (P = 0.043). In lower eyelid meibography, the median of loss in the meibomian glands was 19.00% (IQR; 13.60%–35.30%) in the study group and 12.40% (IQR; 9.10%–16.40%) in the control group (P = 0.002). The median of the Nelson grade in conjunctival impression cytology was 1 (IQR; 0–1) in the study group and 1 (IQR; 0–1) in the control group (P = 0.445). Conclusions: The loss in the meibomian glands together with the shortened f-NTBUT shows that there could be a predisposition in OSAHS for evaporative dry eye originating from meibomian gland damage.
