Autonomic Nerve Activity Features According to Dry Eye Type.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between autonomic nerve activity and symptom intensity according to the type of dry eye (DE).

Methods

This prospective, cross-sectional, comparative study included 25 eyes of 25 patients with short tear break-up time DE (sBUTDE; mean age = 57.4 ± 11.4 years, range = 30-74 years) and 24 eyes of 24 patients with aqueous tear-deficient DE (ADDE; mean age = 62.3 ± 10.7 years, range = 29-76 years) were studied. Autonomic nerve activity was examined, and the Japanese version of the Ocular Surface Disease Index (J-OSDI) and a stress check questionnaire were administered. Autonomic nerve activity was continuously measured for 10 minutes. The parameters were low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components of h
