| Core Tip |
Dry eye disease (DED) is not merely a localised ocular disorder but part of a wider systemic and psychological network. Sleep disturbance, anxiety, and depression can exacerbate DED symptoms, while chronic ocular discomfort itself may precipitate poor sleep and mood changes. Risk is higher for pregnant women, diabetics, patients on a few drugs, and those over 45. Depression showed a strong link to increased corneal staining, while both age and sleep disturbances predicted symptom exacerbation. Increased screen time contributes to digital eye strain and incomplete blinking, further destabilizing the tear film. Clinicians should incorporate mental health and sleep screening into DED management to improve both ocular and systemic quality of life. |
