Outdoor workers have been associated with DED more than in-office workers in the West Bank. Meanwhile, workers with DED report lower productivity and struggle with everyday tasks regardless of the severity level. This underlines the detrimental effects of the workplace on the ocular surface, which present a significant risk for the onset and exacerbation of dry eye symptoms
