Objective To measure the prevalence of dry eye disease (DED) and study relationship between screen time symptoms in pediatric population during coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic using Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. Methods In this descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, our survey included population, ages 1 to 18 years, both genders, who attended outpatient clinics two main hospitals Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Collected data age, gender, symptoms, common DED risk factors, followed by questionnaire, which consists 12 items graded on a five-point scale (0 = never 4 all time). Results A total 329 participants were included, with more than half (56.1%) males 58.5% aged 12-18 years. The most frequently reported (reported as often or always) decreased vision (23.0%) itchy eyes (22.1%). Environmental factors have an effect developing some (21.8%) being uncomfortable windy weather 15.8% places air conditioners. Based OSDI diagnostic criteria, 250 (76.1%) had DED. Furthermore, terms severity, 44 (13.3%) mild DED, 62 (18.8%) moderate 145 (43.9%) severe We found that prolonged exposure mobile screens for three hours four was associated higher incidence compared those exposed shorter periods. Older age categories likely experience (80.8% 78.2% 7-12, respectively, versus 57.6% youngest category (p 0.001)).

Dry eye is a multifactorial disease defined less than 30 years ago. It relatively common disorder, affected by number of well-known risk factors. can be challenging to diagnose because the possible discrepancy between patients' symptoms and clinical signs, its overlap with other ocular surface diseases. Literature-wise, dry usually associated age therefore investigated within older populations. Recently, studies focusing on young adult student populations have demonstrated higher prevalence previously expected.The study aims determine frequency in population, impact students' activities habits as potential factors.Our involved 397 students from medical school at University Belgrade, Serbia. Students were asked complete an online survey that addressed general information, health, habits, routine everyday use electronic devices. In addition, completed standard Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire.The was 60.5% (240/397) our population.

To determine if the Meibomian Gland (MG) secretion quality is associated with symptoms of ocular discomfort, hours Video Display Terminals (VDT) use, eyelid margin abnormalities, conjunctival hyperemia, and Loss Area (MGLA) in a sample university students.An online survey that included an Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire extra question about VDT use recruited initial 183 participants. Only 120 participants fulfilled inclusion criteria were scheduled for battery surface MG specific exam. The tests include: 1) meibometry, 2) slit lamp exploration abnormalities (irregularity, hyperemia orifices plugging), 3) Meibography.Significant positive correlations between plugging, MGLA, nasal temporal (Spearman Rho; all r>0.186, p<0.042) found. Multivariate regression found association OSDI (B=0.316, p=0.007), (B=0.434, p≤ 0.001).
