“…Tear breakup time test shows 53.6% patient under mild range, 38.8% patients was in marginal range for both eye and 7.6% patients in severe range. Whereas in study conducted by Baisoya P et al, 10 mild, moderate and severe dry eye was seen in 57.87%, 39.14% and 1.27% patients respectively. In our study, 16% patients had associated history of hypertension.…”

BACKGROUND Dry eye is a very common disorder of tear film resulting from either decreased tear production or increased tear evaporation. Although it is not a common cause of vision loss, but as the disease progresses, it can lead to sight threatening complications. It can be caused by the deficiency of any one or more of the tear film components or can be a component of systemic diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, Lupus and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. We wanted to study the severity of dry eye disease in an adult population. METHODS A study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Peoples College of Medical Sciences, Bhopal (M. P). Duration of the study was 6 months. Total 250 patients attending eye OPD were examined. A detailed history of patients including demographic details, usage of electronic device, and history of systemic disease was noted. RESULTS Mean age of patients was 38.1±17.1 years and 61.6% were females. According to Schirmer's and TBUT interpretation 14.6% and 7.6% patients respectively had severe dry eye. Mean OSDI was 14.8±8.4. Pearson's and Spearman rho correlation coefficient were found to be significant between ages and various tests of dry eye (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The proportion of dry eye in our study was found to be higher in females as compared to males. The correlation between tests of dry eye and age was found to be significant.

“…The prevalence of dry eye increased progressively with age. 16 Suchi Shah and Harsha Jani showed in their study that maximum prevalence (32.5%) of dry eye were in the age group of 51-60 years. 17 Mohammed Azhar Chisti et al showed that the highest prevalence of dry eye was in the age group of 41-50 years (17.02%) followed by 51-60 years age group(15.56%).…”

“…The findings are more similar to studies in Uttarakhand. 16 Exposure to excessive wind, sunlight or high temperature and air pollution were significantly related to dry eye. The hot and dry atmosphere aggravate symptoms of dry eye like grittiness, sandy and foreign body sensations which might compel the patient to seek advice.…”

Introduction: Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial ocular surface disease characterized by symptoms of discomfort, irritation, and visual disturbance. Dry eye disease (DED), either alone or in combination with other conditions, is a frequent cause of ocular irritation that leads the patients to seek ophthalmic care Materials & Methods: 150 study subjects were enrolled for the study. A cross-section hospital-based, observational study was conducted. Results: Among the study subjects the maximum were from 61-70 year age group, followed by 51-60 year age group. Prevalence of DED was detected in 30%. Keywords: Dry eye, Kadapa, Meibomian gland dysfunction, Tear film breakup time

“…Other studies have also reported a higher DED prevalence such as Sahai and Malik,[ 11 ] Chavhan et al ,[ 13 ] Titiyal et al ,[ 10 ] Hikichi et al ,[ 1 ] Baisoya et al . [ 14 ] but none of the studies had used any standard DED diagnostic protocol, which our study has used for diagnosing DED. Of DED patients, EDE patients showed a higher preponderance.…”

Purpose: To study the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED), further categorize using DEWS II protocol, grade squamous metaplasia in each group, and determine associated risk factors in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional hospital-based study screened 897 patients ≥30 years via systematic random sampling. Patients with both symptoms and signs as defined by the Dry Eye Workshop II protocol were considered as DED, further categorized, and subjected to impression cytology. Categorical data were assessed using the Chi-square test. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In total, 265 (of 897) patients were defined as DED based on the presence of symptoms (DEQ-5 ≥6) and at least one positive sign (fluorescein breakup time [FBUT] <10 s or OSS ≥4). DED prevalence was thus 29.5% with aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE), evaporative dry eye (EDE), and mixed type seen in 92 (34.71%), 105 (39.62%), and 68 (25.7%) patients, respectively. The risk of developing dry eye was higher in the age above 60 years (33.74%) and in the third decade. Females, urban dwellers, diabetics, smokers, history of previous cataract surgery, and usage of visual display terminal devices were found to be significantly associated with risk factors of DED. Squamous metaplasia and goblet cell loss were more severe in mixed compared to EDE and ADDE. Conclusion: Hospital-based prevalence of DED is 29.5% with a preponderance of EDE (EDE 39.62%, ADDE 34.71%, and mixed 25.71%). A higher grade of squamous metaplasia was seen in the mixed type compared to other sub-types.
