Dry eye disease symptoms and associated risk factors in a Norwegian clinical cohort
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Background The relationship between dry eye disease (DED) symptoms and different demographic, clinical and lifestyle factors remains poorly understood. Norway's cold climate and dry indoor air may accelerate tear evaporation, contributing to a very high meibomian gland dysfunction prevalence, as found in multiple studies.
