Sécheresse oculaire : Nouvelle vision du dépistage précoce et des options thérapeutiques – Mainpro+
La sécheresse oculaire (SO) est l’une des causes les plus fréquentes des visites à un spécialiste des soins de la vue. La SO concerne non seulement les professionnels des soins de la vue, mais aussi les omnipraticiens. Elle est une maladie courante, chronique et potentiellement évolutive qui tend à être sous-diagnostiquée. La SO est associée au vieillissement et est généralement observée chez les adultes matures (c.-à-d. de plus de 50 ans). Sa prévalence s’accroît toutefois dans la population moins âgée qui vit dans un monde truffé d’écrans, et qui utilise de plus en plus les appareils électroniques5. Le dépistage et le diagnostic précoces sont essentiels, tout comme le fait d’envisager de nouvelles options thérapeutiques pour éviter la progression et les répercussions à long terme sur la qualité de vie.
