High prevalence of abnormal ocular surface tests in a healthy pediatric population

Clinical Ophthalmology Oct 25, 2020

Rojas-Carabali W, Uribe-Reina P, Muñoz-Ortiz J, et al. - Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study to describe ocular surface characteristics and tests’ results in a healthy pediatric population. The sample consisted of 60 healthy children, obtaining consent, OSDI and screen use survey and conducting ocular surface tests. Sixty healthy children aged between 7 and 17 years were evaluated. In view of the shortage of specific pediatric ocular surface tests, the authors conducted a clinical investigation involving a complete pool of ocular surface tests in children. Although healthy children were involved in this study, all participants had at least one abnormal outcome and 33.33% had a dry eye disease diagnosis, according to TFOS DEWS II. It would be useful to carry out further multicentric studies in order to compare the results of ocular surface tests with other groups of children.
