Abstract Purpose:We retrospectively examined items related to seasonal changes and severity of subjective symptoms of dry eye patients.

Methods:To investigate the subjective symptoms of dry eye in different seasons, using the Dry Eye Related Quality of Life Score(DEQS)Questionnaire between March 2017 and February 2019.

Results:The summary score indicating the level of subjective symptoms was the largest in autumn and the smallest in winter, but there was no significant difference among the seasons. Questions 1 and 3 were significantly different among the seasons, but the other questions were not significantly different. The least common symptom was “tends to avoid going out of the house because of eye symptoms”(Q14). The summary score for patients with a positive response to Q14 was significantly higher than that of patients with a negative response to Q14, and the former patients tended to be less likely to experience improvement in their subjective symptoms, even with eye drop treatment.

Conclusions:There was no significant difference in subjective dry eye symptoms among the seasons. Patients with dry eye with a positive response to Q14 tended to have difficulty in treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to consider not only eye drop treatment but also central nervous system abnormality and systemic disease.

Q14 of DEQS Questionnaire seems to be an index that considers the treatment plan for dry eye.
