“…User profile showed that women were the main searchers, which was consistent with previous research that women are at greater risk of DED ( 36 ). However, several studies reported the age was the important risk of DED, while we found the teenagers search more about DED than middle-aged and older in this study ( 37 – 39 ).…”

PurposeTo explore the characteristics of spatial-temporal prevalence and public attention of dry eye diseases (DED) through Baidu Index (BI) based on infodemiology method.MethodsThe data about BI of DED were collected from Baidu search engine using “Dry eye diseases” as keyword. The spatial and temporal distribution of DED were analyzed through timeseries data decomposition as well as spatial autocorrelation and hotspot detection of BI about DED. The most popular related words and demographic characteristics were recorded to determine the public attention of DED.ResultsThe trends of BI about DED in Chinese mainland had gradually increased over time with a rapid increase from 2012 to 2014 and in 2018. The results of timeseries decomposition indicated that there was seasonality in the distribution of BI about DED with the peak in winter, especially in northern regions. The geographic distribution demonstrated the search activities of DED was highest in the east of Chinese mainland while lowest in the west. The vast majority of people searching for DED were teenagers (20–29 years), with a predominance of females. Glaucoma, keratitis and conjunctivitis were the diseases most often confused with DED, and the artificial tears were the most common treatment for DED in Chinese mainland according to the BI about DED.ConclusionsThe analysis revealed the seasonality, geographic hotspots and public concern of DED through BI in Chinese mainland, which provided new insights into the epidemiology of DED.

“…This finding is in line with the epidemiology of eye symptoms and eye conditions [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Menopausal women are at greater risk for developing dry eye syndrome [ 35 ]. In older age, age-related anatomical changes in the lacrimal gland, conjunctiva, and meibomian gland are observed that may affect the ocular surface health and risk of dry eyes [ 36 ].…”

Implementation of eye care behaviors may reduce the risk of eye symptoms and diseases. This study aimed to assess eye care behaviors and identify factors associated with eye care practices among adults in Poland. This cross-sectional survey was carried out between 9 and 12 December 2022 on a nationwide random quota sample of adults in Poland. The study questionnaire included a set of questions on 10 different eye care behaviors. The study population included 1076 participants with a mean age of 45.7 ± 16.2 years, and 54.2% of participants were females. The most common (30.2%) eye care behavior was the use of good lighting indoors, and 27.3% used sunglasses with a UV filter. More than one-fifth of participants declared taking regular screen breaks and limiting screen time. Less than one-tenth of participants used dietary supplements with lutein, beta-carotene, or zinc. Out of 12 factors assessed in this study, self-reported knowledge of eye diseases was the most important factor associated (p < 0.05) with eye care behaviors. There were no economic or educational gaps (p > 0.05) in the implementation of most of the eye care behaviors among adults in Poland. This study revealed a low level of implementation of eye care behaviors among adults in Poland.

“…Several studies have looked at the effect of hormone replacement therapy on dry eye and have demonstrated no effect or even worsening of symptoms. 75,[87][88][89] In the Women's Health Study, postmenopausal women treated with hormone therapy were at a 70% increased risk of DED when treated with estrogen alone and a 30% increased risk when treated with estrogen þ progesterone/progestin. 75 Higher doses and increased duration of treatment were also associated with increased DED risk.…”

Changes in vision can have significant impact on health and quality of life. Differences between women and men have been identified in the incidence of several eye conditions. Some of these differences are a result of the greater longevity of women. However, the eye, like other organs, is susceptible to the impacts of inflammation and sex steroids. Conditions, such as thyroid eye disease, optic neuritis, and dry eye disease are related to autoimmune or inflammatory conditions and are, thus, more common among women. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension occurs disproportionately in women of childbearing age; the etiology of this condition appears to be related to both inflammatory and sex hormone fluctuations.
