CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SOME RELATED FACTORS OF DRY EYE DISEASE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface. This disease affects about 5–50% of the population. Dry eye disease causes many symptoms and signs that causes the patient discomfort in the eye and impair the function of the eye. Thus, it has an impact on both work productivity and quality of life. Objectives: To describe the clinical of DED and determine related factors of DED. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 30 dry eye patients (Ocular surface Disease Index (OSDI) ≥13 and tear film breakup time <10 seconds). Results: Severity grades: mild 6.6%, moderate 46.7% and severe 46.7%. OSDI: 35.2 ± 10, TBUT: 5.5 ± 1.9. The mean age of participants was 45.5 ± 17.6 years, females constitute 76.7%, almost participants live in city (76.7%), use digital screen exposure time is more than 8 hours (43.3%) and work in air-conditioned areas (43.3%). Conclusions: Patients often go to a clinic when their disease are in medium and severe grade. There is no significant association between factors and the severe grade of DED.
