Kurzfassung:
The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of dry eye symptoms among the age group of 35 – 75 years, and the effect of eye exercises on dry eye symptoms between experimental and control group. Quantitative approach with quasi experimental pre–test post–test control group design was used. Structured questionnaire was used for collecting base line data and structured interview schedule to assess the prevalence of dry eye symptoms. Two hundred people were selected for assessing its prevalence; from among them 40 samples with dry eye symptoms were taken and assigned equally to experimental and control group by non-probability purposive sampling technique. Post-test was done after two weeks. Data analysis was done by frequency, percentage, paired and unpaired‘t’ test. Analysis shows that 49.5 percent had mild, 47.5 percent samples had moderate and 3% had severe dry eye symptoms. Mean post–test score (8.85) is less than mean pre–test score (16) in the experimental group which indicates eye exercises are effective (p 〈 0.05). Mean post–test score in experimental (8.85) and control group (19.65) shows that eye exercises reduce dry eye symptoms (p 〈 0.05). There is a significant association between the selected baseline variables such as age, education, occupation, consumption of drugs, use of computer, use of eye wear and dry eye symptoms.
