“…Similar results have been highlighted in a study carried out with 635 patients with dry eye: the concordance rate was too low among Schirmer's test I, rose bengal staining, accumulation of fluorescein and TRFL test (18) .…”

“…The contrast sensitivity was altered in six patients (17.9%) and color vision was abnormal in 18 patients (64.3%). Pereira et al (18) assessed patients that had undergone DGYR and found out that the percentage of patients with night vision change was 22.3 % before bariatric surgery and 59% within 6 months after surgery. In another study (12) , 68% of patients reported changes in night vision within six years after DGYR on average.…”

“…The test results were classified as normal (for values up to 12), minor symptoms (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), mild (23-32), or severe (33-100). Intraocular pressure was measured to make up for the ophthalmic exam of patients with widely known risk factors that increase intraocular pressure.…”

-Background -Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity, but the surgery increases the risk of developing nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin A deficiency. In human metabolism, vitamin A plays a role in vision. Objective -To evaluate serum vitamin A, visual function and ocular surface of patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods -A cross-sectional and analytical study was conduced with 28 patients undergoing bariatric surgery for at least 6 months. Ophthalmologic evaluation was done through color vision test, contrast sensitivity test, ocular surface tests and confocal microscopy, as well as vitamin A serum measurement. Results -Vertical sleeve gastrectomy was performed in seven (25.0%) patients and Roux-en-Y gastric by-pass in 21 (75.0%). Mean serum vitamin A level was 1.7±0.5 µmoL/L. Most patients (60.7%) had symptoms of dry eye. Five (17.9%) patients had contrast sensitivity impairment and 18 (64.3%) color vision changes. In the group of patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric by-pass, mean vitamin A levels were 1.8±0.6 µmoL/L, whereas they were 1.7±0.5 µmoL/L in patients submitted to the restrictive technique vertical sleeve gastrectomy. The analysis of the influence of serum levels of vitamin A in the visual function and ocular surface was performed by Pearson correlation test and there was no significant correlation between any of the variables and vitamin A. Conclusion -There was no influence of the bariatric surgery technique used on serum vitamin A levels, on the visual function or on the ocular surface. Moreover, there was no correlation between serum levels of vitamin A and the visual function or the ocular surface changes. HEADINGS -Bariatric surgery. Vitamin A deficiency. Night blindness. Xerophthalmia.

“…Os principais estudos epidemiológicos (2)(3)(4)(7)(8)(9)(10) sobre a síndrome do olho seco determinaram a prevalência de acordo com os sintomas referidos, tais como: ressecamento, sensação de areia, queimação, hiperemia, olhos colados pela manhã, prurido e fotofobia. Tais sintomas são identificados através da aplicação de questionários como o OSDI ® .…”

“…Estudos prévios estimaram prevalências compreendidas entre 5,5% e 33,7% (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . Em 1995, encontros realizados no National Eye Institute (NEI) propuseram que o olho seco pode ser decorrente de uma deficiência da produção aquosa lacrimal ou de uma evaporação excessiva, com dano à superfície ocular interpalpebral e sintomas oculares (11) .…”

To examine risk factors for the prevalence of dry eye syndrome in a population-based cohort. Methods: The prevalence of dry eye was determined by history at the second examination (1993-1995) of the Beaver Dam Eye Study cohort (N = 3722). Results: The cohort was aged 48 to 91 years (mean±SD, 65±10 years) and 43% male. The overall prevalence of dry eye was 14.4%. Prevalence varied from 8.4% in subjects younger than 60 years to 19.0% in those older than 80 years (PϽ.001 for test of trend). Age-adjusted prevalence in men was 11.4% compared with 16.7% in women (PϽ.001). After controlling for age and sex, the following factors were independently and significantly associated with dry eye in a logistic model: history of arthritis (odds ratio [OR],
