Managing Dry Eyes Amidst the Excessive Usage of Digital Screens

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Daily use of digital screens increases the chance of developing dry eye disease (DED), a tear film instability disorder resulting in ocular surface damage. Individuals actively engaged on digital screens for an extended period experience decreased blink rates and an increase in incomplete blinks, which can cause ocular surface dryness, potentially contributing to developing DED. Therefore, eye care experts must educate patients about the association between DED and digital screens and the potential prevention strategies to manage digital screen-induced DED.
Watch this video to learn more about the association between digital screen use and DED, its effect on blinking dynamics, and how to manage digital screen-induced dry eyes.
Highlights:
  • Risk factors associated with DED
  • Relationship between digital screen use and DED
  • Effect of digital screen use on blinking dynamics
  • Strategies to prevent and manage digital screen-induced dry eyes

Digital Screens and DED: Unveiling the Link

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
How does long-term digital screen usage affect meibomian gland structure and function?
Working with visual display terminals (VDTs) is becoming increasingly important in the global information age. Long-term VDTs usage, especially for more than four hours daily, is associated with a high incidence of dry eye disease (DED). Recent clinical studies have suggested that meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), caused by long-term VDTs work, plays a more significant role in determining the severity of dry eye.
Watch this exciting video to know more about DED and computer vision syndrome (CVS) and the association between digital screen use and DED.

Highlights -
  • Definition, etiology, and clinical manifestations of DED
  • CVS and its impact on the eye
  • MGD and goblet cell dysfunction in digital screen users
  • Prevention and treatment approaches for CVS
