    Summary

    This study found that dry eye symptoms differ between genders and age groups in patients seeking vision correction. The dry eye questionnaire effectively identifies ocular sicca cases for further screening.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Ocular Surface Disease
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Dry eye disease (ocular sicca) is a prevalent condition affecting vision.
    • Accurate screening tools are crucial for early identification and management.
    • Previous research supports the utility of a specific dry eye questionnaire.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate demographic differences in dry eye symptom reporting.
    • To validate a dry eye questionnaire as a screening instrument in a refractive error correction population.

    Main Methods:

    • A dry eye questionnaire was administered to 500 patients undergoing refractive error correction.
    • Responses from 177 non-contact lens wearers were analyzed.
    • Comparisons were made between males and females, and across three age subgroups.

    Main Results:

    • Females reported significantly higher rates for 4 out of 24 questionnaire items.
    • Age-related differences in responses were observed for 5 out of 24 items.
    • No increased prevalence of dry eye findings was noted in females over 45, except for arthritis-related queries.

    Conclusions:

    • The dry eye questionnaire demonstrates demographic variations in symptom reporting.
    • The findings support the questionnaire's validity as a screening tool for ocular sicca.
    • This instrument aids in identifying individuals who may benefit from further dry eye evaluation.
