“…26 Glass use in this study was not significant for dry eye symptoms where one of the survey had similar finding 18 whereas in a dry eye symptom evaluation among lecturers by OSDI there was a significance of p=0.03 of glass use and dry eye symptoms. 17 In current study, the association of sleep hours and dry eye symptoms was not significant where most of the study had significant correlation between sleep deprivation and dry eye symptoms. 27 Lee W. et al found strong association between duration of sleep hours (<4hours) and dry eye symptoms Korean adults.…”

“…14 However most of the study showed significant finding amongst female and elderly population, 15,16 but few studies reported no significance in gender as well. 17,18 In the current study: 129(76.33%) participants were using mask for more than 8 hours and 69 (out of 129) participants had dry eye symptoms. There was significant positive correlation between mask use and OSDI scores.…”

Background: With the outspread of global pandemic Corona virus disease 19. (COVID-19), use of face masks was taken as a vital deed against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. (SARS-CoV-2) The aim of this study was to assess symptoms of mask associated dry eye (MADE) among health workers. Materials and Methods: A total of 169 heath workers meeting the inclusion criteria were selected by simple random sampling from respective department. Data were obtained by providing with questionnaire established by the researcher and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) to the participants from November 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021 at National Medical College and Teaching Hospital. The data were evaluated using correlation test. Results: A total of 169 heath workers were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the patient was 31.74±7.34 years (range 19-56).According to OSDI, 27(15.9%) of the participants had mild dry eye symptoms followed by 15 (8.87%) cases of moderate and 44(26.03%) of severe respectively. Duration of mask wearer and electronic devices usage were two variables that were statistically correlated with OSDI (p<0.01). The OSDI was not statistically correlated with age, glass wear and sleep duration. Conclusion: With the emergence of COVID -19, measures to cope against this pandemic are must. With the increasing use of controlling measures, it is prime responsibility of ophthalmic faculty to start awareness regarding proper use of these anti-COVID measures and make sustainable environment in future.

Background. Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the tear film and ocular surface. It causes ocular symptoms, reduced quality of life and a considerable economic burden on society. Prolonged use of visual display terminals (VDTs) has been suggested as an important risk factor for DED. Purpose. This review aims to study the association between DED and VDT use with an emphasis on the prevalence of DED among VDT users and harmful daily duration of VDT use. Methods. A PubMed search was conducted and yielded 57 relevant articles based on a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The studies were subclassified according to study design. Results. The far majority of the studies showed an association between VDT use and DED or DED-related signs and symptoms. The prevalence of definite or probable DED in VDT and office workers ranged from 26% to 70%, with as few as 1-2 hr of VDT exposure per day being associated with DED. Conclusion. VDT use is strongly associated with DED. VDT-associated DED is prevalent, but the exact prevalence needs to be further elucidated using standardized DED diagnosis criteria. Furthermore, a safe lower limit of daily VDT use has yet to be established. More research is needed on the effect of digitalization and digital transformation, which are particularly high during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Routine ophthalmic examination of patients including visual examination, intraocular pressure measurement and biomicroscopic examinations was carried out. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), a subjective assessment scale to measure the degree of dry eye and its effect on visual function was used (Koksoy Vayısoğlu et al, 2019).…”

Dry eye is one of the most common ocular diseases in the elderly population and has increasing importance. Aging, decreased hormones and systemic autoimmunity are among the common causes of dry eye disease. Although the etiology of dry eye can change, it is known that the main cause is the inflammation in both lacrimal glands and ocular surfaces. To evaluate the effectiveness of topical cyclosporine A (CsA) 0.05% which is an immunemodulatory agent in the treatment of dry eyes, total of 51 patients with dry eye syndrome were included in our study. Forty-six of the patients were female while 5 patients were male. The mean duration of medication use of the patients was 8.72 ± 3.59 months (6-16 months). There was a statistically significant difference between the pre-treatment Schirmer scores and Schirmer scores found in 1st, 6 th and last month controls of Sjögren and Non-Sjögren groups (p<0.05) while there was no statistically significant difference between Sjögren and Non-Sjögren groups (p>0.05). In conclusion, it was found that there was a significant increase in Schirmer and fluorescein TBUT scores and tear meniscus height of both Sjögren and and Non-Sjögren groups.
