Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,  Can routine eye exams and screening for dry eye symptoms in digital screen users help identify the risk of dry eye disease (DED) and enable proper management?
The usage of digital screen devices has increased drastically post-pandemic for work, studies, and entertainment. However, continuous exposure to screens for prolonged periods can adversely affect blinking dynamics, leading to digital eye strain (DES) and DED. This leads to constant discomfort and pain in the eyes, resulting in poor quality of life (QoL) for patients. The use of digital screens in this digital era is hard to avoid. However, periodic ocular screening for dry eye symptoms can help in the timely and accurate diagnosis of the condition and in planning the most definitive treatment.
