“…DED affects visual quality by worsening tear-related aberration changes, and impaired visual performance could lead to depression and lower QoL. [24][25][26] Ocular pain and discomfort without a definitely impaired tear film could also result in depression, anxiety, and psychological stress. Unlike the previous studies, our study results indicated that both clinically diagnosed DED and symptoms of DED showed significantly different prevalence and intensity of all the psychological parameters.…”
There is a close association between depression, stress, and DED in women who have been clinically diagnosed with it or those presenting with its symptoms.

“…[25][26][27][28][29][30] Sequential measurements of corneal or ocular wavefront aberrations in normal eyes and dry eyes have revealed that dynamic changes in the tear film affect the postblink optical quality. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Moreover, the double-pass system is capable of monitoring postblink dynamic changes in optical quality associated with changes in the tear film. [43][44][45][46][47] Previous investigations using sequential HOA measurements showed that postblink dynamic changes in optical quality occur even in clinically normal subjects and revealed that such postblink changes in dry eyes can be classified into two patterns.…”
Quality of vision has been emphasized in ophthalmologic clinical practice in recent years. The optical or visual performance of the human eye is not static and fluctuates over time. Considering the major origins of temporal fluctuations in optical or visual performance, quantitative assessment of the dynamic changes in the optical quality of the entire eye is important. This review provides an overview of the clinical application of the objective methods for assessing dynamic changes in optical quality, particularly those associated with accommodation, the precorneal tear film, the prelens tear film, and contact lens movement and fitting.
“…1 Dry eye refers to disorders of the tear film due to reduced tear production and/or excessive tear evaporation associated with symptoms of ocular discomfort. 2 Dry eye impairs functional vision; especially during reading, driving, using computers, and mobile phones [3,4,5,6] . Reading speed for instance is significantly reduces at positively correlates and with dry eye disease severity.…”
Background: Around the world it is learnt that between 5-34% of people have some form at dry eye and prevalence significantly increases with age. [4,5] (computer operator, driver, salesman, mechanics, field worker, cooks)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
