Sažetak
PURPOSE: The aim of this research was to examine metric characteristics of several dry eye questionnaires and to compare them with some objective measured parameters of dry eye. METHODS: The data was collected from 115 Croatian students of several study programs who voluntarily participated in the survey. Participants were informed about the procedure and possible risks and subsequently they completed the several most commonly used questionnaires in diagnostical practice: McMonnies Dry Eye Questionnaire (MDEQ), Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), while their socio-demographic data were likewise collected. After the participants completed the questionnaires, they proceeded to the subsequent survey stage in an optometric laboratory for the vision and dry eye examination. Licensed optometrists assessed several objective measures of dry eye: Tear Film Break-up Time (TBUT) and Tear Meniscus Height (TMH) examined at the Essilor slit lamp and Non-invasive Keratograph Break-up Time (NIKBUT) assessed using the Oculus Keratograph 4. RESULTS: The correlations between all measures used and their indicators of metric validity were computed. The results showed no correlations between subjective and objective measures and acceptable metric characteristics of the questionnaires used in the survey. CONCLUSION: Since the correlations there are no correlations between the used subjective and objective measures of dry eye and the questionnaire-type measures show acceptable metric features, it is recommended to use both in the diagnostical procedures of determining the dry eye disease.
