“…26 We included education status and income status as covariates in accordance with our previous study. 27 In addition, stratified multivariable logistic regression analyses by age (<60 years vs ≧60 years), VDT time (<1 hr/day vs ≧1 hr/day), and history of smoking (never vs ever, current vs non current) among both men and women were also performed. All analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4 statistical software (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC).…”

Objective: To investigate the relation between body mass index (BMI) and dry eye disease (DED). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey in 85,264 Japanese men and women aged 40 to 74 years who participated in the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study for the Next Generation (JPHC-NEXT Study). Dry eye disease was defined as the presence of severe symptoms or clinical diagnosis. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) of DED associated with BMI and their two-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We adjusted for age, cohort area, visual display terminal time, smoking status, alcohol intake, education status, income status, as well as history of hormone replacement therapy for women. Results: Prevalence of DED was 23.4% (n ¼ 19,985; 6,289 men, 13,696 women). Higher BMI was correlated with a lower prevalence of DED in a dose-response fashion, with an adjusted OR of DED (95% CI) per 1 kg/m 2 increment of BMI of 0.98 (95% CI: 0.97-0.99) for men and 0.97 (95% CI: 0.97-0.98) for women. Conclusions: This large population-based study showed an inverse relationship between BMI and prevalence of DED in a Japanese population. Underestimation of DED is warned, especially for participants with high BMI.

“…BUT and corneal staining are parameters of corneal epithelial cells and precorneal tear film, while strip meniscometry is that of tear production measuring tear meniscus volume [ 31 ]. Although the home environment during quarantine may protect from harm to the ocular surface, tear production may decrease due to parasympathetic nervous system decline [ 34 ], sedentary lifestyles [ 35 ], depression [ 36 , 37 ], anxiety and lack of social support [ 38 ]. Indeed, telework has negative and positive effects on ocular symptoms and signs.…”

Purpose The aim of this cohort study was to describe the change in ocular surface signs and symptoms before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to associate changes with potential pandemic-related events. Methods First-visit patients from 2019 to 2021 were examined for corneal staining, lacrimal function and refraction. We assessed the presence of seven common ocular symptoms. Patients with glaucoma and macular disease were excluded. Dry eye (DE) was diagnosed according to the criteria of the Asia Dry Eye Society. Results The mean age of 3,907 participants was 59.6±18.6y and 63.8% were female. Mean age and the prevalence of diagnosed DE and shortened tear break-up time decreased from 2019 to 2021. The prevalence of eye fatigue, blurring and photophobia decreased in 2020. Conclusions The prevalence of diagnosed DE did not increase among first-visit patients during the pandemic compared with 2019, despite many survey results suggesting that DE may have worsened due to frequent masking, increased screen time, mental stress, and depression under quarantine and social infection control. It might be considered however, that many elderly DE patients might have refrained from consulting an ophthalmologist and possibly delayed treatment of DE during the pandemic.

“…According to previous research, higher subjective happiness levels in DED patients are associated with a lower self-reported incidence of dry eye symptoms ( Kawashima et al, 2015 ). Additionally, supportive social relationships can help alleviate negative emotions in the treatment of DED patients, including anxiety and worry ( Viet Vu et al, 2019 ). This may indirectly explain the positive effects of social support on DED patients’ mental and physical wellbeing.…”

ObjectiveThis study explored the effects of social support, illness perception, coping style, and vision-related quality of life (VRQOL) in older patients with dry eye disease (DED) using a chain mediation model.MethodsA total of 407 patients with DED from a tertiary hospital in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, between June and December 2023 were selected as participants. A demographic questionnaire, the Social Support Rating Scale, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and the National Eye Institute Visual Functioning questionnaire-25 were all given to them to complete. IBM SPSS (version 27.0) was used for data analysis, and Model 6 of the PROCESS Macro was used to test the predicted chain mediation model.ResultsThe positive association between social support and VRQOL demonstrated the mediation role of illness perception and coping style. Social support affected VRQOL via three pathways: illness perception (effect = 0.190), confrontational coping style (effect = 0.103), and a combination of illness perception and confrontational coping style (effect = 0.067), accounted for 23.60%, 12.80%, and 8.32% of the total effect, respectively.ConclusionSocial support in older patients with DED can significantly and positively predict the VRQOL. In addition to the independent mediating effect of illness perception and confrontational coping style, a chain-mediating effect exists between social support and VRQOL. The study serves as a valuable strategy for healthcare professionals to prevent and intervene in VRQOL for older patients with DED in the future.
