Effects of aerobic exercise on tear secretion and tear film stability in dry eye patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To study the effects of aerobic exercise (AE) on tear secretion and tear film stability in dry eye patients.

Methods

This study consisted of two parts, each part included 3 groups, namely dry eye without AE group, dry eye with AE group and pre-clinical dry eye with AE group. In part 1, we studied the variations of Schirmer I test and six tear compositions before and after AE (34 eyes in each group). In part 2, we studied the variations of tear meniscus height, first and average non-invasive tear breakup time (F-NITBUT and A-NITBUT), lipid layer thickness, number of incomplete and complete blinks, partial blink rate (PBR) and visual acuity before and after AE (30 eyes in each group).

Results

In dry eye with AE group, Schirmer I test at 0 min after AE increas
