Prevalence of Dry Eye and Ocular Surface
Disease
Study results showing prevalence of dry eye (overall,
in women, in men, and in older individuals):
• Schaumberg DA, et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 2003;136:318-326.
• Schaumberg DA, et al. Arch Ophthalmol. 2009;127:763-768.

Prevalence of Dry Eye Among Women:
Study Population
• 39,876 health professionals
• Ages 45-84 years
• Enrolled in the Women’s Health Study, a randomized
trial designed to assess the benefits of and risks for
aspirin and vitamin E in the primary prevention of
cardiovascular disease and cancer in healthy women
• Participants received mailed questionnaires every
year
• At year 4, included 3 questions about dry eye
Schaumberg DA, et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 2003;136:318-326.
Prevalence of Dry Eye Among Women:
Methods
• Have you ever been diagnosed by a clinician as having
dry eye syndrome?
• How often do your eyes feel dry (not wet enough)?
• How often do your eyes feel irritated?
• Possible answers:

Schaumberg DA, et al. Am J Ophthalmol. 2003;136:318-326.
Prevalence of Dry Eye Among Women:
Results
• The prevalence of dry eye syndrome increased with
age, from 5.7% among women < 50 years old to 9.8%
among women aged > 75 years old. The age-adjusted
prevalence of dry eye syndrome was 7.8%, or 3.23
million women aged > 50 in the United States.
• Compared with whites, Hispanic (OR 1.81, CI 1.182.80) and Asian (OR 1.77, CI 1.17-2.69) women were
more likely to report severe symptoms, but not be
clinically diagnosed with dry eye syndrome.
• Women from the South had the highest prevalence
of dry eye syndrome, although the magnitude of
geographic differences was modest.

Medications for Glaucoma
Studies suggest there may be a relationship
between the presence of OSD in patients with
glaucoma and topical medications for glaucoma:
