Study of Association Between Dry Eyes and Non-strabismic Binocular Vision Disorders in Young Adults
摘要
Purpose: To find the association between dry eye and non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies (NSBVA) among University Students. Methods: 325 students underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination. Participants without ocular or systemic conditions and with normal visual acuity were included, while those on dry eye medication, undergoing vision therapy, with strabismus, amblyopia, contact lens usage, or past refractive surgery were excluded. Results: 39.1% of people were found to have dry eyes. Convergence insufficiency was the non-strabismic binocular vision condition with the highest prevalence rate (18.2%). Schirmer test value and tear breakdown time had a significant positive link, but a weak positive correlation between non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies and Schirmer test value and tear breakup time value. Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study revealed that 39.1% of students had dry eye. With an 18.2% prevalence, the most frequent binocular vision problem was convergence insufficiency. A strong positive correlation between Schirmer test value and tear breakup time value, a weak but positive correlation between non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies and dry eye measures.
