Relation of accommodative microfluctuation with dry eye symptoms in short tear break-up time dry eye

PURPOSE To investigate accommodative microfluctuations (AMFs) and visual function in short tear break-up time (BUT)-type dry eye (DE) and non-DE subjects. METHODS This prospective comparative study included 48 volunteers with DE symptoms (mean age 34.8 ± 5.5 years, age range 25-42 years) and 73 without DE symptoms (mean age 30.6 ± 4.7 years, age range 25-42 years). The eyes were divided into ...

Severe symptoms of short tear break-up time dry eye are associated with accommodative microfluctuations

AIM Validating the hypothesis that accommodative microfluctuations (AMFs) may be associated with severe symptoms in short tear break-up time (BUT) dry eye (DE). METHODS This study included 12 subjects with short BUT DE (age: 49.6±18.3 years). Diagnoses were performed based on the presence of DE symptoms, BUT ≤5 s, Schirmer score >5 mm, and negative keratoconjunctival epithelial damage. Tear e...
