Abstract

Objectives: To report patient-reported experiences with dry eye disease and therapeutic contact lenses.

Methods: A survey was distributed to patients with dry eye disease. Demographics, Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), systemic disease, contact lens history, and burden of care information were collected. Descriptive statistics are presented and categorized by nonlens, soft lens, and scleral lens (SL) wearers.

Results: Of 639 respondents, 15% (94/639) were currently using therapeutic soft or SLs (47 soft and 69 SL). Mid-day fogging or clouding of vision was reported by SL (75%, 50/67) and soft lens (62%, 29/47) wearers. Seventy-two percent of SL wearers spent more than 20 min daily on dry eye treatment while 43% of soft lens wearers spent more than 20 min. Median annual expenditure was higher for SL ($1,500, n=63) than nonlens ($500, n=371) or soft lens wearers ($700, n=43). Mean OSDI scores in all groups were in the severe category (51±22 years, n=401 nonlens wearers; mean age; 45±22 years, n=47 soft lens wearers; 60±24 years, n=69 SL wearers).

Conclusions: Mid-day fogging and blurring of vision was reported by most of the individuals using therapeutic lenses for dry eye disease. SL wearers allocate the most resources for dry eye care.

患者使用治疗性隐形眼镜和干眼症的经验。

目的：报告患者报告的干眼病和治疗性隐形眼镜的经验。方法：对干眼症患者进行调查。收集人口统计学、眼表疾病指数（OSDI）、系统性疾病、隐形眼镜史和护理负担信息。描述性统计数据按非晶状体、软晶状体和巩膜晶状体（SL）佩戴者分类。结果：在639名受访者中，15%（94/639）目前正在使用治疗性软性或SL（47名软性和69名SL）。SL（75%，50/67）和软镜片（62%，29/47）佩戴者报告了日间视力模糊。72%的SL佩戴者每天花在干眼治疗上的时间超过20分钟，而43%的软性镜片佩戴者花在干眼睛治疗上的花费超过20分钟。SL（1500美元，n=63）的年支出中值高于非SL（500美元，n=371）或软性镜片配戴者（700美元，n=43）。所有组的平均OSDI评分均属于严重组（51±22岁，n=401名非配戴者；平均年龄；45±22岁；n=47名软性镜片配戴者；60±24岁，n=69名SL配戴者）。SL佩戴者为干眼护理分配了最多的资源。

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.
