DRY EYE SYNDROME IN STUDENTS WHO ACTIVELY USE GADGETS

Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is a common condition affecting individuals who frequently use digital devices, particularly students. Prolonged screen time leads to reduced blinking, causing tear film instability and resulting in symptoms such as eye dryness, irritation, and burning sensations. These symptoms can significantly interfere with daily activities, reducing academic performance and overall quality of life. The rise in gadget usage among young adults has led to an increase in DES prevalence, with many affected individuals unaware of its early signs. Timely diagnosis and management are essential to alleviate symptoms and improve ocular health. Preventive measures such as screen time reduction, regular breaks, proper hydration, and the use of artificial tears are crucial for mitigating the impact of DES. Raising awareness about DES among students and healthcare providers is critical for early intervention and effective management.
