Abstract
The ever-increasing use of visual display terminal (VDT) has led to an increase in eye-related symptoms in adults and children. Dry eye occurs can happen due to an inadequate amount of tears or poor quality of tears due to reduced blink rate. Subjects on digital device users are often found to have symptoms but with little evidence to compare with non-visual display terminal users. Mean blink rate in VDT users were found to be lower than non-VDT users. Risk of blink rate getting affected due to VDT use was found to be higher than non-VDT users. Statistical significant differences were found in blink rate of VDT and non-VDT users of different age group. Prevalence of dry eye was found out to be to 44.44 %. It also shows that male were more symptomatic for dry eye compared to female in both the groups of VDT and non-VDT.
