Abstract

"Purpose: To assess the time of exposure to the computer and dry eye disease (DED) in subjects with computer vision syndrome (CVS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in office workers, computer users of both sexes, with an age range of 18-45 years without comorbidities; we included 108 subjects divided into 3 groups according to the time of computer exposure in hours per day (H/D): <4 (n = 23), 4 -7.9 (n = 49), >8 (n = 39). A specific questionnaire was applied to them on the exposure time and the type of visual display terminal (VDT) used, as well as the computer vision symptoms scale (CVSS17). DED was diagnosed with the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Ocular surface damage and signs of DED were evaluated with the tear rupture time test (TBUT), the integrity of the ocular surface by ocular surface staining (OSS) and the production of the aqueous basal tear film using the Schirmer test".
