Epidemiological studies on dry eye disease in encamping troops under high temperature environment in the gobi desert

目的:研究在戈壁沙漠地区高温环境下,驻训部队干眼症的发病情况。方法:将2014年夏季在新疆某训练基地进行驻训的官兵6 048人作为研究对象,首先设计、印制了调查表进行问卷调查,筛选出具有干眼症状的官兵,进一步行泪膜破裂时间、角膜荧光染色及Schirmer I试验等检查,统计分析干眼症的发病率。结果:本组调查人群中具有干眼症状的有3 846人(63.6%),根据标准确定患有干眼症的有2 375例,发病率为38.7%。结论:戈壁沙漠地区的高温低湿环境,是导致官兵干眼症发生率升高的诱因,有必要采取适当措施预防并治疗。
