High Level of Interleukin-10 Tears as The Risk Factor of Dry Eye Disease in Computer Users

Dry Eye Disease (DED) can cause damage to the ocular surface, cornea, visual disturbances, and blidness. The causes of DED are multifactorial and one of them is Video Display Terminals (VDT) using, such as computers and electronic telecommunications equipment. The use of VDT for a long - time results in tears hyperosmolarity which directly affects the eye surface epithelium. This leads to an increase of inglammatory mediators, including interleukin-10 (IL-10), Interleukin-17, and other cytokines.
