PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of dry eye disease symptoms and contact lens wear in Mexican high school students. METHODS A cross-sectional association study included a group of high school students who were selected from a random sampling of classrooms. The authors used the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire as a surrogate measure for dry eye disease symptoms, and contact lens wear was also investigated. RESULTS Seven hundred fifty-nine students with a mean age of 16.12 ± 0.96 years were surveyed and 55.7% of the students were girls (423 of 759). The average OSDI score was 25.11 ± 20.61 points. Girls had higher scores (28.25 ± 21.48 points) than boys (21.14 ± 18.74 points), and the difference was statistically significant (P < .001). Forty-three students (6.1%) wore contact lenses and had higher OSDI scores (34.26 ± 23.13 and 24.51 ± 20.31 points, respectively) and the difference was also statistically significant (P = .002). CONCLUSIONS Symptoms of mild and moderate dry eye disease are prevalent in high school students and, as reported in previous studies, girls are more affected than boys.

墨西哥蒙特雷高中生眼表疾病症状的患病率。

目的 确定墨西哥高中生干眼病症状和隐形眼镜佩戴的流行情况。方法 一项横断面关联研究包括从课堂随机抽样中选出的一组高中生。作者使用眼表疾病指数 (OSDI) 问卷作为衡量干眼病症状的替代指标，并且还调查了隐形眼镜佩戴情况。结果 调查了 759 名平均年龄为 16.12 ± 0.96 岁的学生，其中 55.7% 的学生是女孩（759 名中的 423 名）。OSDI 平均得分为 25.11 ± 20.61 分。女孩的得分（28.25±21.48 分）高于男孩（21.14±18.74 分），差异有统计学意义（P < .001）。43 名学生 (6.1%) 戴隐形眼镜并且 OSDI 分数更高 (34.26 ± 23. 分别为 13 和 24.51 ± 20.31 点）并且差异也具有统计学意义（P = .002）。结论 轻度和中度干眼病的症状在高中生中很普遍，而且正如之前的研究报告的那样，女孩比男孩更容易受到影响。[J Pediatr Ophthalmol 斜视。2021;58(5):287-291.]。
