Abstract

Objective: To assess the current situation and prevalence of the risk of dry eye disease among medical students at Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study conducted on 405 medical students from Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine. Results: The overall risk of dry eye disease among students during breaks was 77.8%, and it increased to 88.6% when students returned to school. Second and third-year students had a 5 to 20 times higher odds ratio of moderate to severe dry eye disease compared to sixth-year students. The most common symptom of dry eye was light sensitivity, and the visual function most affected was working/studying with computers. The most uncomfortable environment for those with dry eyes was windy conditions. Conclusion: The risk of dry eye disease among medical students is very high. Official schooling, academic year, and habits of using electronic devices are related to the risk and severity of dry eye disease.
