简要总结
This study aims to develop and evaluate a Child-Specific Dry Eye Screening Questionnaire (CSDESQ) and a Daily Lifestyle Management Checklist for children aged 6–12 years. The primary objective is to create and validate a screening tool (PeD-STAR) for early detection of pediatric dry eye. Children screening positive will receive a lifestyle management checklist, and changes in symptom scores will be evaluated after 3 weeks. The study focuses on early screening and prevention of pediatric dry eye through lifestyle-based, non-pharmacological interventions...........Recruitment ongoing as per approved protocol. No changes since registration.
