Abstract

OBJECTIVES

To investigate awareness, prevalence, and knowledge of dry eye among Internet professionals in China.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,265 randomly selected Internet professionals aged ≥18 years. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess dry eye awareness, dry eye symptoms, and knowledge about dry eye risk factors. Data on demographics and complete medical history were also collected. The primary outcome was the rate of dry eye awareness determined by the answer to the question "Have you seen or heard anything about dry eye recently?"

RESULTS

Of the 1,265 included individuals aged 20 to 49 years, 519 (41.0%) were women. 54.4% (688 of 1,265) of participants had seen or heard something about dry eye recently and most had obtained information through Internet. 50.8% (643 of 1,265) of participants were identified as subjects with symptoms of dry eye. Dry eye awareness was greater in contact lens wearers (odds ratio [OR], 6.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.70-11.38; P <0.001), those with a refractive surgical history (OR, 5.09; 95% CI, 2.34-11.08; P <0.001), relatives and/or friends of ophthalmologists (OR, 2.76; 95% CI, 1.39-5.49; P =0.004), those with symptoms of dry eye (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.47-2.38; P <0.001) and female subjects (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.13-1.86; P =0.004). Knowledge of nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors for dry eye was poor in substantial numbers of the participants.

CONCLUSIONS

The level of dry eye awareness and knowledge of its risk factors is suboptimal in Internet professionals, although the Internet professionals are at high risk of the disease.

摘要

目的

调查中国互联网行业从业者对干眼症的知晓率、患病率及相关知识。

方法

对1265名年龄≥18岁的随机选取的互联网行业从业者进行横断面研究。采用自填式问卷评估干眼症知晓情况、干眼症状以及干眼危险因素相关知识。还收集了人口统计学数据和完整病史。主要结局是通过“您最近是否看到或听说过任何有关干眼症的事情？”这一问题的答案确定的干眼症知晓率。

结果

在纳入的1265名年龄在20至49岁之间的个体中，519名（41.0%）为女性。54.4%（1265名中的688名）参与者最近看到或听说过干眼症相关信息，且大多数是通过互联网获取信息。50.8%（1265名中的643名）参与者被确定为有干眼症状。隐形眼镜佩戴者（优势比[OR]，6.49；95%置信区间[CI]，3.70 - 11.38；P<0.001）、有屈光手术史者（OR，5.09；95%CI，2.34 - 11.08；P<0.001）、眼科医生的亲属和/或朋友（OR，2.76；95%CI，1.39 - 5.49；P = 0.004）、有干眼症状者（OR，1.87；95%CI，1.47 - 2.38；P<0.001）以及女性受试者（OR，1.44；95%CI，1.13 - 1.86；P = 0.004）的干眼症知晓率更高。大量参与者对干眼症不可改变和可改变的危险因素的了解较差。
