“…35 Any homeostatic imbalance caused by ocular surface conditions, such as dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction, can become exacerbated by a contact lens and lead to contact lens discomfort or contact lens-induced dry eye. 23,36 This issue as it relates to contact lens dropout has been specifically analyzed by Giannaccare et al (2016) via a retrospective analysis (n = 87). 37 The authors found that compared to controls, subjects who had discontinued contact lens wear had lower/worse tear break up time and Schirmer test values, and higher/worse ocular surface disease index (OSDI) and corneal staining scores.…”

Purpose: Contact lens (CL) dropout is likely a major factor contributing to the near stagnant growth in the CL market. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge related to the frequency of CL dropout and the factors associated with it. Methods: PubMed.gov was searched on or before March 22, 2020, with the terms "contact lens" with "dropout" or "cessation" or "disruption" or "discomfort". Pertinent articles were collected. The references from these articles were likewise searched to identify additional relevant articles. Only manuscripts written in English were included. No study design or date exclusions were imposed on this review. Results: This literature review found that CL dropout was frequent across developed countries, with a CL dropout frequency that ranged between 12.0% and 27.4% (pooled mean = 21.7%). The top cited reason for CL dropout in established CL wearers was discomfort, while vision was the top reason in neophyte CL wearers. If given the chance, CL dropouts are often able to successfully resume CL wear up to 74% of the time. While the literature is mixed with regard to factors promoting CL dropout, meibomian gland dysfunction appears to promote CL dropout. Conclusion: CL dropout is a frequently encountered condition that may be curtailed by early detection, patient education, alterative CL options, or early treatment of underlying ocular surface diseases such as meibomian gland dysfunction.

“…Alternative environmental factors, like poor ergonomics, improper lighting, glare, cut wetness in air-conditioned rooms, 28 are all tributary factors for worsening of those symptoms. Uncorrected refractive errors, 29 contact-lens wearers, 30 people with a history of ocular illnesses, 31 diabetics, 32 female gender, 33 and autoimmune diseases are at risk for the development of more and severe symptoms than their age-matched counterparts.…”

Objective: The purpose of this review study was to identify and synthesize evidence about the prevalence of digital eye strain (DES) before and after the lockdown period in India, the factor associated with it, and also create awareness or spread knowledge about the preventive measures for eye care from digital eye strain. Methodology: This systematic review was done in order to compare the available data of factors and prevalence of digital eye strain before and after the lockdown period. Studies, included in the review was targeted interventions towards the digital eye strain conducted before and after the lockdown period in Covid-19 era related to the current research objective. Results: Prevalence scores were recorded for comparative analysis. Fifteen studies out of 104 total studies that met the inclusion criteria had positive results. 36.9% (n=80) were using digital tasks >5 h in lockdown as compared to 1.8% (n =4) before lockdown in case of study-1, while in study-2, Typically, 93.6% of respondents reported an increase in their screen time since the lockdown was declared. Study-3 encompasses the prevalence of DES was 64.3% in pre-lockdown periods, while in case of study-4 among the 150 participants studied, the overall prevalence of DES (at least 1 symptom present) is 87.3%. Conclusion: This review provides evidence that Digital eye strain is a very common condition in this digital era, throughout this lockdown period, prevalence and uses of digital devices were increased. So, we should prevent from DES by utilizes the preventive measures resources and follows the few instructions/ guidelines throughout the uses of digital devices. Keywords: Digital eye strain (DES), Covid-19 pandemic, Lockdown, Asthenopia, Computer vision syndrome.

“…Decreased tear film stability as measured with tear film BUT occurs with long term use of contact lenses stability. In a recent study, ocular discomfort and other dry eye symptoms were present in contact lens wearers 20 . The reason might be the daily wearing time of soft contact lens induced hypoxia and caused disturbances in pre corneal tear film stability.…”

Purpose: To see the effect of soft contact lens wears on tear breakup time. Study Design: Descriptive Observational study. Place and Duration of Study: College of Ophthalmology and Allied Vision Sciences, King Edward Medical University, Mayo Hospital, Lahore. From January to March 2016. Material and Methods: Students of King Edward Medical University Lahore wearing soft contact lens for more than 3 months with no known ocular pathology were selected by non-probability convenient sampling technique. Subjects with history of using any eye drops, history of oral drugs, which could cause dry eye and individuals any ocular disease, were excluded from the study. Tear film BUT was tested by using Fluorescein sodium dye and examinig under cobalt blue filter of slit lamp.SPSS version 20 is used to analyze the data. Results: There were 30 participants with mean age of 24.5 ± 5 years. All were females. Sixty percent were wearing corrective lenses, and 40% were wearing cosmetic lenses. Out of 30 patients wearing contact lenses, only 6.67% had marginal tear film BUT and none of the patients has shown dry eyes. Individuals using contact lenses for 9 – 12 years had decreased BUT as compared to subjects using lenses for 3 – 6 months. 33.33% of extended lens wearers had reduced BUT as compared to disposable and daily wearers of contact lenses. Discomfort with contact lenses was observed in only 4 patients. Conclusion: As the duration of contact lens wear increases, the tear film break up time decreases. Individuals using extended wear contact lenses are more prone to develop decreased TFBUT.
