| description | Purpose
Current models consider the development of dry eye disease (DED) as a more or less continuous process with only minor daily variations. Clinical evidence, however, does suggest the existence of phase‐like recurring dry eye complaints that may be linked to seasonal environmental conditions. In this survey‐based study, we examined the influence of seasonality in dry eye pathophysiology.
Methods
A specific protocol for a telephone interview was created. Then, 738 patients suffering from dry eye and/or Sjögren's syndrome were interviewed and asked about the impact of the four seasons and other weather conditions on their ocular symptoms. Data were statistically analysed. All data were compared in respect to the relation between season, gender, country of origin and the presence of comorbidities.
Results
Overall, 47% of respondents stated that seasonal conditions had a high impact on their DED symptoms, with only 15% reporting that there was no seasonal impact on their symptoms. Wind was the most commonly reported weather condition to impact dry eye symptoms (for 71% of patients), followed by sunshine (60%) and heat (42%). Cold weather was also reported to aggravate dry eye sensation by 34% of patients. The two seasons most commonly associated with dry eye complaints were summer and winter (for 51% and 43% of patients, respectively). Only 8% stated that no weather conditions affected their symptoms.
Discussion
This study confirms the seasonal enhancement of dry eye sensations and symptoms. Environmental characteristics such as cold and heat as well as wind were the most commonly cited triggering factors. Geographical differences do exist between the countries surveyed and the seasonal peak of complaints appears related to temperature and humidity. The main seasons of dry eye complaints in Europe were winter and summer. Such seasonal characteristics in ocular surface disease should be kept in mind when considering diagnosis and treatment as well when investigating the ocular surface.
Conclusion
Our study confirmed high prevalence of both seasonal and weather‐related enhancement of dry eye sensations and symptoms. |
