Mask-associated dry eye and other maskassociated eye diseases (mask-associated eye irritation, MAEID): post-COVID-19 review

Abdulaziz Sameer Khoshaim, Saif Alobaisi.




Abstract

The objective of the article is to analyze the literature regarding the association between COVID-19 and mask-associated dry eye and ocular irritation. As the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a large percentage of the world population wearing masks, there will most likely be some diseases or disorders associated with these changes in habits. There are multiple studies in the literature related to mask-associated dry eye (MADE), but no literature review has focused solely on MADE. The most recent studies related to mask-associated dry eye have included some form of clinical assessment of dry eye, as opposed to a questionnaire-based research. We focused more on the results of these studies and the common associations in them. Medline/PubMed, as well as Epocrates, was used to search for key terms, including MADE + COVID-19, dry eye disease, and dry eye syndrome. A total of 70 studies were found, 10 of which were included.

Key words: Covid-19, Dry eye syndrome, Mask Associated Dry Eye, Chalazion
