Adult male-specific inverse association between dry eye disease and intraocular pressure: KNHANES 2010-2012.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the association between dry eye disease (DED) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in the general adult population of South Korea.

Methods

We enrolled 13,194 adults (age ≥19 years) who had participated in the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from 2010 to 2012. IOP was measured using Goldman applanation tonometry. DED was defined as the presence of self-reported symptoms along with a diagnosis by an ophthalmologist. As the correlation between the left and right eyes was high (r = 0.833), only the measurement values of the right eye were used. We sequentially conducted multiple linear and logistic regression analyses to investigate the association between DED and IOP and prevalence of high IOP (>21 mmHg).
