| Core Tip |
There were differences in tear film properties comparing the pre- and post-pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 era data. Over time, there was an increase in the lipid layer thickness, a decrease in the area of the meibomian glands, and a decrease in the blink rate. These changes seemed related to face masks and screen time. Therefore, the ophthalmologist must be aware of these changes and educate patients according to the most likely potential causal factor. |
