Abstract

To evaluate meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) may determine the severity of dry eye syndrome in digital screen users. A prospective, case-control study was carried out in a hospital at BBSR. 100 eyes of 52 patients were recruited as the long-time group; 80 eyes of 40 control subjects served as the short screen time group. A questionnaire of (OSDI) and multiple tests were performed. Three dry eye tests: tear film break up time(TBUT), corneal fluorescein staining, Schirmer test; and three MGD parameters: lid margin abnormality score, meibum expression assessment, and meibomian gland dropout degree.
Result- OSDI and corneal fluorescein scores were significantly higher while dramatically shorter in long screen time users than the short time users, the three MGD parameters were also higher in the long screen time group than the short time group(P-0.0001).
All three MGD parameters were positively correlated with working time.
