Abstract

Dry eye syndrome (DES) is common among workers with prolonged exposure to visual display terminals (VDTs), due to factors such as reduced blink frequency. Its pathophysiology involves inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, which are associated with epithelial damage and tear film instability. This review aims to synthesize the evidence on tear TNF-α levels in office workers exposed to VDTs and to assess its potential as a biomarker for the timely diagnosis of DES.
