Abstract
The objective of our study was to determine the significant correlation between patients with dry eye symptoms and insomnia. The study was conducted among 150 persons at Saveetha medical college and hospital. An evaluation was performed using self-reported structured questionnaires regarding symptoms of insomnia and dry eye, including ocular pain and duration of time they spend on TV/mobile. Then dry eye patients were confirmed by Tear break up time (TBUT), Schirmer test 1, and 2. The Control group (no symptom of dry eye) was chosen randomly and evaluated using the same self-reporting questionnaires. The study was conducted on 150 persons with a mean age of 32 years in Tamil Nadu, India. On analyzing the data collected we have shown that there is a significant association between Dry eye and insomnia using chi-square (44.977), P-value (<0.00001), and "r" value (0.6741). Also, we have shown a significant association between co-morbidity among dry eye patients and poor sleep quality. After analyzing the data collected, we show that there is a positive association between dry eye symptoms and insomnia.
