Face masks have been linked to dry eye complaints in recent studies. <strong>Purpose:</strong> To evaluate the changes in tear-film status and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score following prolonged use of face mask. <strong>Design:</strong> Cross-sectional study. <strong>Method:</strong> Patients between 18 to 70 years using masks regularly for at least 2 hours/day for at least 5 days/week from different eye-care centres in Dhaka were included. All subjects were divided into 4 groups. Mask use lasted approximately 2 hours/day in Group 1, 4 hours/day in Group 2, 6 hours/day in Group 3 and 8 hours or more/day in Group 4. Evaluation of symptoms, tear- film stability and tear volume was done by Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, Tear-film Break-Up Time (TBUT) and Schirmer-1 test. Average of right & left eye’s Tear-film Break Up time (TBUT) and Schirmer-1 value were noted. <strong>Results:</strong> Total 100 patients were enrolled (n = 100). The TBUT (p < 0.001) and Schirmer-1 measurement (p = 0.01) were significantly lesser and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score were significantly higher in patients using face-masks for longer time (p < 0.001). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Patients who wore masks for prolonged time had tear film instability, reduced tear volume and higher Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score.展开更多

In the scenario of FR with SSPP, we present a novel model local robust sparse representation(LRSR) to tackle the problem of query images with various intra-class variations,e.g., expressions, illuminations, and occlusion. FR with SSPP is a very difficult challenge due to lacking of information to predict the possible intra-class variation of the query images.The key idea of the proposed method is to combine a local sparse representation model and a patch-based generic variation dictionary learning model to predict the possible facial intraclass variation of the query images. The experimental results on the AR database, Extended Yale B database, CMU-PIE database and LFW database show that the proposed method is robust to intra-class variations in FR with SSPP, and outperforms the state-of-art approaches.展开更多
