AEROBIC EXERCISE AND ITS EFFECT ON TEAR SECRETION AND TEAR FILM STABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH DRY EYE

 

Aerobic training programs increase aerobic capacity and endurance and thereby improve the quality of life.1

 

Lower levels of physical activity, including sedentary behavior and use of VDTs, were found to be significantly related to higher prevalence of dry eye.2

 

Aerobic exercise has been shown to promote tear secretion and improve tear film stability in dry eye patients.3
