Ocular Surface Disease Index and Dry Eye Parameters in Hand Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Medipol University
Summary
This study investigates whether the relationship between the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and dry eye parameters can be used as a predictive marker in patients diagnosed with hand osteoarthritis. Symptoms and signs of dry eye are assessed using the OSDI questionnaire, Schirmer I-II tests, tear break-up time (TBUT), Oxford Grading Scheme for surface staining, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for tear meniscus height.

Interventions
Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Assessments
Participants underwent a series of ocular assessments, including Schirmer I and II tests to assess basal tear secretion, Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT) to measure tear film stability, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to evaluate tear meniscus height. Ocular surface damage was quantified using the Oxford grading scheme after corneal and conjunctival staining. Additionally, patient symptoms were assessed using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire.
