An October report published in American Journal of Ophthalmology shared the results of a questionnaire that was given to 672 young and middle-aged office workers who use video display terminals (VDT), who then underwent dry eye testing.

The prevalence of definite dry eye disease was 8 percent in men and 18.7 percent in women, based on clinical evaluation, while probable dry eye in men and women was 52.1 percent and 57.8 percent, respectively.  Women older than 30 who used VDTs more than eight hours a day had a significantly increased risk of dry eye.

If you think you are suffering from dry eye, speak to your ophthalmologist at Scottsdale Eye Physicians and Surgeons.
