SIGNIFICANCE Dry eye disease causes ocular pain, blurred vision, reduced visual quality of life, and reduced workplace performance. This disease is underreported and underdiagnosed despite being highly prevalent in optometric care. PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the vision‐related quality of life of patients with dry eye disease and the potential ...

An eye on the Shih Tzu dog: Ophthalmic examination findings and ocular surface diagnostics
Abstract Objective To characterize the ocular surface parameters and determine the prevalence of ocular pathology in Shih Tzu dogs. Animal Studied Fifty Shih Tzu dogs (28 male, 22 female). Procedures Each dog underwent a complete ophthalmic examination (recording any pathology) and a series of diagnostics, allowing for a 10 min‐interval between tests ...

Abstract Background Visual display terminal (VDT) use is a key risk factor for dry eye disease (DED). Visual display terminal (VDT) use reduces the blink rate and increases the number of incomplete blinks. However, the exact mechanisms causing DED development from VDT use have yet to be clearly described. Purpose The purpose of the study was to conduct

The association between visual display terminal use and dry eye: a review
Abstract Background Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disease of the tear film and ocular surface. It causes ocular symptoms, reduced quality of life and a considerable economic burden on society. Prolonged use of visual display terminals (VDTs) has been suggested as an important risk factor for DED.

Analysis of factors leading to lid wiper epitheliopathy.
Lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) has received more attention during the diagnosis and treatment of the dry eye. However, its causes and pathogenesis remain unclear. We aimed to explore the etiology of LWE by analyzing the association between the severity of LWE and different anatomical and tissue morphological examination characteristics using confocal ...

Development of a pendulum machine for measuring contact lens friction
Abstract The lubrication ability of a contact lens is one of its most essential properties because high friction on an eyelid causes discomfort during blinking. Friction measurements allow assessment of lubrication ability. So far, several apparatuses have been developed to measure contact lens friction.

Ocular surface changes in mild and moderate myopes differing in duration of soft contact lens wear
Background: Contact lenses (CL) are widely prescribed for various indications. A rather high incidence of severe complications in CL wearers necessitates a deeper and more detailed investigation of CL-associated ocular surface changes with duration of ...

The Relationship of Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy to Ocular Surface Signs and Symptoms
There has been interest in determining whether lid wiper epitheliopathy (LWE) plays a key role in causing ocular discomfort. Conflicting reports have made it difficult to discern whether LWE is more prevalent in certain populations, what characteristics are associated with its severity, and what its role is in symptomology.

Purpose. The Dry Eye‐Related Quality‐of‐Life Score (DEQS) is a Japanese dry eye‐specific questionnaire that has been used to assess the symptoms of dry eye and their effects on the quality of life (QOL) in Japanese individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of rebamipide (RBM) on the QOL of Japanese patients with dry eye disease
