Abstract

Background: Dry eye is a chronic disease characterized by unstable tear film causing a variety of symptoms and/or visual impairment, potentially accompanied by ocular surface damage. Objective: to provide estimates of the prevalence of dry eye and the characteristics of tear film breakup pattern among students at BacLieu medical college in 2022 and 2023. Materials and method: A descriptive cross - sectional survey was conducted on 728 participants who were students majoring in nursing, pharmacy and midwifery at Bac Lieu Medical College. Dry eye diagnosis was based on the standards of Asia Dry Eye Society (ADES) in 2016 through two criteria: OSDI questionnaire (Ocular Surface Disease Index) > 12 points and test FBUT (Fluorescein Break Up Time) ≤ 5 seconds. Classification of dry eye patterns was on the basis of characteristics of tear film breakup by using the TFOD (Tear Film–Oriented Diagnosis). Results: The rate of dry eye disease was 14.8%. The rate of increased evaporation of dry eye pattern was the highest accounting for 40.7% when comparing with that of decreased wettability dry eye pattern (30.6 %) and aqueous deficient dry eye pattern (28.7 %). Conclusion: Dry eye disease was not rare among medical college students. Increased evaporation of dry eye pattern was more prevalent than decreased wettability or aqueous deficient dry eye pattern in the community of medical students.
