Abstract

Aim: study of short tear film breakup time-type of dry eye in India
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done the Department of Ophthalmology, Nalanda Medical College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar, India for 1 year. 250 patients were selected using systematic random sampling for a comprehensive dry eye work‑up from a pool of 2500 consecutive new patients aged 18 years or more attending the corneal clinic on 3 days of the week.
Results: Of the 250 patients who underwent dry eye evaluation, there were 50 patients in the short TBUT group, 50 patients in the ATD group, 100 patients in the group with >5 but 0.05). The number of patients with an OSDI score of ≥13 was similar (P = 0.55) between the short TBUT group (38%) and the ATD group (38%) and was nearly twice (P = 0.003) that of the patients in the group with >5 but 5 s but 5 but Conclusion: We have described a typical group of patients with specific characteristics that distinguish them from other types of dry eye disease. This study also emphasizes the importance of measuring TBUT, particularly in patients with symptoms of eye fatigue whose complaints may not primarily be due to anomalies of accommodation and/or convergence but due to an unstable tear film.
