AB  - There is global digitalization. With the increased use of computers in the 
      workplace, refraction and dry eye related health concerns are developing. This 
      study is conducted to evaluate the effects of long-term computer use on tear 
      production and evaporation. Thisis a cross-sectional study among 97 computer 
      operators in a Tertiary care centre. Dry eye disease was assessed subjectively 
      with the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and objectively by 
      performing Schirmer's test and Tear Break-up Time (TBUT). Majority of 
      participants (59.2%) were male's age group between 36- 40 years. The prevalence 
      of dry eye among the computer Operators was found to be 51%. Mean TBUT and mean 
      Schirmer's Test value for those with dry eye was 12.65s and 10.3mm respectively. 
      This study showed that a positive relation between dry eye and computer usage. 
      Computer users are predisposed to developing dry eye diseases. It is therefore 
      necessary for them to go for regular ophthalmic examination to prevent dry eye 
      symptoms and disease.
