Abstract
Background: Around the world it is learnt that between 5-34% of people have some form at dry eye and prevalence significantly increases with age. [4, 5] The large variation in the prevalence of dry eye disease is attributed to the variations in the study population, geographical differences and lack of uniformity in method and definitions of the disease dry eye. Patients and Methods: during the period from July 2015 to Nov-2016 Patients were consecutively selected and underwent a routine ophthalmological examination along with tear film break-up time (TBUT), Schimers test and Rose Bengal test or flourescien staining as a screening tools for detecting the presence of dry eye. Statistical Analysis: Data are expressed as mean, standard deviation and range. For quantitative data, statistical evaluations are performed by using t test and for qualitative data chi square test is used. Results: In the present study 115 of patients developed dry eye cause of environmental cause. 28.57% of dry eye patients were noted to be farmers and laborers and 23.33% of dry eye patients belong to high exposure group(computer operator, driver, salesman, mechanics, field worker, cooks) this explains the fact that these are the person who worked more outdoors and exposed to sun and/or dust developing dry eye. Conclusion: our study showed that the prevalence of dry eye disease is significantly affected by the person who worked more outdoors and exposed to sun and/or dust developing dry eye Thus environmental factors plays pivotal role in the development of dry disease.
