Abstract | Background and objectives: Dry eye disease (DED) is increasingly prevalent, resultinginhigher morbidityamong children. This study evaluates the impact of DED severity on visual quality using double-pass technology, focusing on dynamic observation of the ocular light scatter in pediatric DED cases. Method: In this non-interventional, cross-sectional study, a mild DED group (37 cases, 37 eyes), a moderate DED group (40 cases, 40 eyes), and a control group of healthy children (35 cases, 35 eyes) were examined. Measurements included the Schirmer I test, tear film break-up time (BUT), and vision-related quality of life assessments using the Modified Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaires. Participants underwent visual quality analysis using double-pass technology, which measured the modulation transfer function cut-off frequency value (MTF cutoff), Strehl ratio (SR), objective scatter index (OSI), and OQAS-II value (OQAS-II value OV100%, OQAS-II value OV 20%, and OQAS-II value OV 9%) under natural conditions. Additionally, dynamic changes in OSI post-blinking, Tear film mean-OSI (TFM-OSI), and the corresponding standard deviation OSI (SD-OSI) were recorded. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed among the groups in modulation transfer function cutoff, Strehl ratio, OSI, OQAS-II value OV 100 %, OQAs-II value OV 20 %, OQAs-II value OV 9 %, tear film mean OSI, and standard deviation OSI (P < 0.05). As DED severity increased, tear film mean OSI significantly rose, while modulation transfer function cutoff, strehl ratio, OQAS-II value OV 100 %, OQAS-II value OV 20 %, OQAS-II value OV 9 % notably declined. All optical quality parameters were correlated with BUT, with no association observed with age, sex, or Schirmer I test. Conclusion: Dual-channel technology objectively assesses visual quality in pediatric DED, demonstrating that tear film scattering significantly affects retinal imaging and visual quality in children with DED. |
