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

METHODS: The present study evaluated a group of subjects with OSD assessing the Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI) and the Reflux Symptom Index(RSI) to detect patients with suspected LPR and define a possible relationship between tests.RESULTS: Two hundred and ninety subjects(175 females, mean age: 60.41±15.68y) were consecutively visited at ophthalmologist offices. One hundred and one(34%) patients had pathological RSI(〉13) and consequently a suspected LPR.CONCLUSION: The current study shows that suspected LPR may be common(34%) in patients with OSD and a suspected LPR may be considered in OSD patients when RSI score is 〉13 and OSDI score is 〉42.展开更多
