    Summary

    Prolonged computer screen use significantly increases the risk of Dry Eye Syndrome in young adults. Students exposed to over 8 hours of screen time face a 5.5 times higher risk of developing this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Public Health
    • Digital Health

    Context:

    • The digital age necessitates extensive computer use among students.
    • Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is a prevalent condition affecting ocular comfort.
    • Understanding risk factors for DES in young adults is crucial for preventative strategies.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the association between prolonged computer (PC) screen exposure and the incidence of Dry Eye Syndrome (DES).
    • To quantify the risk of developing DES in university students aged 18-25 with over 8 hours of daily PC use.

    Summary:

    • A cross-sectional study involving 59 students aged 18-25 was conducted.
    • Participants with >8 hours of PC screen exposure showed a 5.5 relative risk for DES compared to those with less exposure.
    • Increased exposure correlated with higher DES incidence and symptom severity, alongside reduced tear film stability indicators.

    Impact:

    • Findings highlight PC screen time as a significant risk factor for Dry Eye Syndrome in young adults.
    • Results underscore the need for awareness and potential interventions regarding digital eye strain among students.
    • This research contributes to understanding the ocular health implications of modern educational and lifestyle habits.
