Abstract Objective: To assess the frequency of symptoms and impact on quality of life in individuals with dry eye disease. Methods: The cross-sectional, study was conducted from December 2018 to June 2019 at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Ophthalmology, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised dry eye disease patients aged at least 13 years with ocular burning sensation, lacrimation, grittiness, photophobia, redness or itching. Tear Film Breakup time <10 sec and / or positive ocular surface staining >5 corneal spots, >9 conjunctival spots, lid margin staining ?2mm in length were used to diagnose the disease. Data was collected using the Dry Eye Quality of Life Score questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS 25. Results: of the 191 patients, 135(71%) were females and 56(29%) were males. The overall mean age was 39.8±16.6 years. Itching 155(81.2%), watering 151(79.1%) and burning 124(64.9%) were the most frequent symptoms, with watering (p<0.001) and photophobia (p=0.012) significantly impacting quality of life. Conclusions: The most common symptoms among patients of dry eye disease affecting their quality of life were itching, watering, burning, photophobia and low mood.

In recent years, dry eye has become a hot topic within ophthalmology and optometry, especially in regards to new frontiers in treatment modalities which include novel devices, procedures, and medications. However, some of the more understudied areas in dry eye involve its impact on quality of life. Although ocular discomfort symptoms are well known to be associated with dry eye, its negative effects on visual function remain underrecognized. This paper reviews these topics within the currently published literature to heighten awareness among clinicians.

Abstract BackgroundPatients with dry eye disease (DED) experience stress that may subsequently affect their quality of life (QOL). Little is known whether neuroticism, a personality trait sensitive to stress and hassle, has an impact on stress that is related to DED and QOL. This study aimed to examine such a relationship.MethodsA hospital-based, cross-sectional observational study was conducted. All participants completed the Dry Eye-Related Quality-of-Life Score (DEQS) questionnaire, a 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L), Neuroticism Inventory (NI), and 10-Item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Hierarchical linear regression was applied to determine the predictive effect of the independent variables. ResultsIn all, 100 participants had mean age of 50.91±14.3 years, and females totaled 89.0%. The mean scores of the QOL related to DED, EQ5D, NI, and PSS were 45.44 ±22.0, 0.78± 0.21, 31.67± 9.1, and 18.53± 6.1, respectively. Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that ocular symptoms were the strongest predictor for QOL either assessed by DEQS or EQ-5D, and its effect was lessened when perceived stress and neuroticism were added to the model. The final model explained up to 30-39% variance of the QOL, compared with 13-32% by ocular symptoms alone. QOL of the patients with DED, not only related to eye symptoms but general stress in life. More than that, neuroticism was found to be a strong predictor contributing to the QOL among patients with DED. More attention should be paid to these psychological factors when assessing the QOL of this population.

AbstractBackground:Dry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular surface disease significantly affecting the quality of life of patients. The aim of our study is to focus on the prevalence of DED and to determine the relationship between dyslipidemia and DED.Methods:The study was performed with the age group of 25–70 years, who attended the ophthalmology outpatient department at Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences with complaints of dry eye. A standard questionnaire was taken, and tear film tests were performed to diagnose dry eye. Further eyelid margin was examined to detect meibomian gland dysfunction. Based on the tests and examination, patients were grouped as men with and without DED and women with and without DED. Fasting lipid profile was investigated for these groups.Results:The study showed the prevalence of DED mainly in women and found significant association between DED and dyslipidemia. There is a significant relationship between total cholesterol and DED groups especially in women (p<0.001). We also found the association between triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and DED particularly in women as compared to men.Conclusions:Based on the findings, we emphasize that there is a strong relationship between dyslipidemia and the progression of DED particularly in women. Ophthalmologists may increase their role to educate themselves to diagnose dyslipidemia and ensure comprehensive eye care to prevent blindness and cardiovascular disease. Recent treatment modalities could be aimed to improve the quality of life of women and elderly patients suffering from DED.
