Face Mask and Tear Film Stability: A Pilot Study of the Objective Measurement of Tear Break-Up Time

Face Mask and Tear Film Stability: A Pilot Study of the Objective Measurement of Tear Break-Up Time

(1) Background: Mask-associated dry eye (MADE) has been associated with increased dry eye symptoms, apparently due to reduced tear break-up time (TBUT). This study aimed to determine the short-term impact of surgical face mask (FM) on tear film stability by measuring non-invasive tear break-up time...
