Abstract

Purpose: To determine how vision correction habits changed after the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic onset.

Methods: Participants reported vision correction habits, refractive error, screen time, mask wearing time, and dry eye symptoms since the COVID-19 pandemic onset through email survey.

Results: A total of 133 participants completed the survey. Worsening dry eye symptoms were associated with increased screen time ( P =0.04). Hours per day of spectacle wear increased by approximately 1 hr ( P =0.001) and was associated with increased screen time ( P =0.002). Worsening dry eye symptoms were associated with increased days per week of spectacle wear ( P =0.02). Participants wore contact lenses about one day per week less than before the pandemic ( P =0.0001). Increased mask wearing time was associated with increased days per week of contact lens wear ( P =0.03).

Conclusions: After pandemic onset, hours per day of spectacle wear increased, and days per week of contact lens wear decreased. Increases in hourly spectacle wear were associated with increased screen time, whereas increased daily contact lens wear was associated with increased mask wear time, suggesting that spectacles may be preferred for screen time activities and contact lenses for mask wear.

眼镜和隐形眼镜佩戴者COVID-19发病后的视力矫正习惯
目的:了解2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行后视力矫正习惯的变化情况。方法:参与者通过电子邮件调查方式报告自COVID-19大流行以来的视力矫正习惯、屈光不正、屏幕使用时间、佩戴口罩时间和干眼症状。结果:共有133名参与者完成了调查。干眼症状加重与屏幕时间增加有关(P=0.04)。每天佩戴眼镜的时间增加了约1小时(P=0.001),并且与屏幕时间增加有关(P=0.002)。干眼症状加重与每周佩戴眼镜天数增加有关(P=0.02)。与疫情前相比,参与者每周佩戴隐形眼镜的时间减少了一天(P=0.0001)。佩戴口罩时间的增加与每周佩戴隐形眼镜天数的增加相关(P=0.03)。结论:大流行开始后,眼镜佩戴时间增加,每周隐形眼镜佩戴天数减少。每小时佩戴眼镜的次数增加与屏幕时间增加有关,而每天佩戴隐形眼镜的次数增加则与佩戴口罩的时间增加有关,这表明在屏幕时间活动中,眼镜可能更受欢迎,而佩戴隐形眼镜可能更受欢迎。

期刊介绍: Eye & Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice is the official journal of the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists (CLAO), an international educational association for anterior segment research and clinical practice of interest to ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other vision care providers and researchers. Focusing especially on contact lenses, it also covers dry eye disease, MGD, infections, toxicity of drops and contact lens care solutions, topography, cornea surgery and post-operative care, optics, refractive surgery and corneal stability (eg, UV cross-linking). Peer-reviewed and published six times annually, it is a highly respected scientific journal in its field.
