“…The prevalence of DED tends to increase with age [14]. The prevalence is reported from 12.3 to 73.5% worldwide [15,16], increased from 8.0 to 17.9% in South Korea, where majority of the population includes older individuals [17,18]. It is known that DED is aggravated after cataract surgery for various reasons, such as excessive light exposure, topical anesthetics and antiseptics, increase in inflammatory cells, and physical damage to the cornea and adjacent structures during operation [19,20].…”

Background To evaluate the effects of pretreatment for dry eye disease (DED) on the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation. Methods Patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery were included in the study. IOL power was determined using the SRK/T and Barrett Universal II (Barrett) formulas. The patients were divided into non-pretreatment and pretreatment groups, and those in the pretreatment group were treated with topical 0.5% loteprednol etabonate and 0.05% cyclosporin A for 2 weeks prior to cataract surgery. Ocular biometry was performed in all groups within 2 days before surgery. The mean prediction error, mean absolute error (MAE), and proportions of refractive surprise were compared between the non-pretreatment and pretreatment groups at 1 month postoperatively. Refractive surprise was defined as MAE ≥ 0.75D. Results In a total of 105 patients, 52 (52 eyes) were in the non-pretreatment group and 53 (53 eyes) in the pretreatment group. The MAE was 0.42 ± 0.33, 0.38 ± 0.34 (SRK/T, Barrett) and 0.23 ± 0.19, 0.24 ± 0.19 in the non-pretreatment and pretreatment groups, respectively (p < 0.001/=0.008). The number of refractive surprises was also significantly lower in the pretreatment group. [non-pretreatment/pretreatment: 9/2 (SRK/T); 8/1 (Barrett); p = 0.024/0.016]. Pretreatment of DED was related to a reduction in postoperative refractive surprise. [SRK/T/Barrett: OR = 0.18/0.17 (95% CI: 0.05–0.71/0.05–0.60), p = 0.014/0.006]. Conclusions The accuracy of IOL power prediction can be increased by actively treating DED prior to cataract surgery.

“…Next, a Scopus (http://scopus.com) literature search was conducted using the key words ‘Dry Eye’ and ‘Prevalence’ in the Article Title, Abstract and Keywords, to identify relevant studies published in the period after the TFOS DEWS II report, up to 4 January 2021. There were 25 of these, 13–15,42–63 making a total of 55 studies in the combined data set. The following information was then extracted from each study: Authorship and publication date Geographical region Diagnostic criteria Cohort ages Sex Reported prevalence Number with dry eye Total relevant population …”

Purpose To provide estimates for the prevalence of dry eye disease globally and in sub‐groups defined by: diagnostic criterion, sex, geographic location and age, using a Bayesian approach. Methods Modelling prevalence as a Beta distribution, estimates were inferred from Bayesian posterior distributions obtained by combing an uninformed prior with likelihood functions generated from all relevant studies reporting dry eye prevalence between 1997 and 2021. Results Global prevalence of dry eye disease was estimated at 11.59% (standard deviation (SD) = 0.04). For symptomatic disease, the estimate was 9.12% (SD = 0.04), with women 9.5% (SD = 0.05) and men 6.8% (SD = 0.06); prevalence was lowest in North America, 4.6% (SD = 0.03) and highest in Africa, 47.9% (SD = 1.8). For signs, prevalence was 35.2% (SD = 0.3), with woman 34.7% (SD = 0.7) and men 37.6% (SD = 0.7); North America showed the lowest regional prevalence, 3.5%, (SD = 0.4) with Eastern Asia the highest, 42.8% (SD = 0.4). Using TFOS DEWS II diagnostic criteria resulted in a global prevalence of 29.5% (SD = 0.8), with women 28.1% (SD = 1.2) and men 24.9% (SD = 1.4). Prevalence was lowest during the fifth decade, increasing approximately linearly with age thereafter. Estimates for other categories are given in accompanying tables. Conclusion A simple, flexible, yet powerful means of combining data from multiple sources to yield prevalence estimates across a range of circumstances is described, that is compatible with published guidelines for conducting meta‐analysis. Estimates can be readily updated as new information emerges, or according to need. Understanding the specific characteristics of studies chosen for inclusion is critical to the validity of the outcome. Although dry eye disease is evidently common, affecting about one in 11 people world‐wide, data are sparse for the young and all geographical locations except Eastern Asia.

“…Dry eye is mainly caused by decreased tear volume and increased evaporation [ 24 ]. Risk factors for dry eye, old age, female sex, menopause, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, and sleep disturbances have been described [ 1 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. In this study, dizziness and loss of balance, self-awareness of abnormal voice, and tinnitus, which are associated with the inner ear [ 28 ], were identified as new risk factors.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the association between dry eye and inner ear diseases in a Korean population. Methods: Data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES V, 2010–2012), a national cross-sectional health examination and survey, were collected by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The association between dry eye and inner ear disease was determined using the chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. The individuals were divided into two age groups (<60 and ≥60 years). Results: In total, 17,542 individuals (n = 11,932 in the <60 years group and n = 5610 in the ≥60 years group) were enrolled. After adjusting for confounding factors, the logistic regression model revealed that the associated factors were dizziness and loss of balance experience (OR, 1.315; 95% CI, 1.143–1.513), self-awareness of abnormal voice (OR, 1.372; 95% CI, 1.120–1.679), subjective hearing discomfort (OR, 1.278; CI, 1.084–1.506), and tinnitus (OR, 1.265; 95% CI, 1.101–1.453). The inversely associated factor for dry eye was bilateral hearing loss (OR, 0.497; 95% CI, 0.367–0.672). The hearing threshold was lower in the dry eye group than in the non-dry eye group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Tinnitus was associated with dry eye and bilateral hearing loss was inversely associated with dry eye. These results suggest that hypersensitivity of the senses and nerves, which is neuropathic hyperesthesia, is one of the main mechanisms of dry eye. Treatment of neuropathy may help in treating dry eye associated with dizziness or tinnitus.
