A prospective longitudinal study was designed to investigate the ability of patients with tear deficiency to correctly recall their past symptoms. The ultimate goal of the study was to contribute to the ongoing research concerning the lack of association between dry eye symptomatology and clinical tests of tear film evaluation. Methods. A total of 26 subjects with ages ranging from 29 to 61 years participated in the study. All subjects reported symptoms associated with tear deficiency, although none had been diagnosed with dry eye disease. Subjects were instructed to grade their symptoms on two different occasions, at the precise moment they were experiencing them, by means of a home questionnaire, and through a recall questionnaire, which was administered within a maximum interval of 10 days from the first questionnaire. Tear evaluation tests were performed at this second time. Non-parametric statistical analyses were used to investigate the relationship between present and recalled symptoms and between symptoms and signs, as well as between the different dry eye tests. The contributions of age, gender, and recall period were also evaluated. Results. With the exception of irritation (p 0.029) and scratchiness (p 0.025), no statistically significant difference was encountered between home and recall questionnaires, although females were found to recall their symptoms slightly better than males (p 0.048). An increase in the severity of the symptoms was associated with a better recollection (p 0.007). Symptoms (home or recalled) and clinical signs were not correlated, although the recalled symptom of scratchiness presented moderately strong correlations with several dry eye tests. Conclusions. Although the lack of correlation between dry eye tests and symptoms mirrored previous research, symptoms recall was found to follow certain interesting patterns, similar to those published in pain research literature.

Abstract: Objetivo: Conocer la viabilidad de la realización de la exploración oftalmológica básica de la patología ocular del paciente diabético desde el ámbito de la Atención Primaria de Salud (APS). Diseño: Estudio transversal observacional prospectivo y multicéntrico. Participantes y método: Muestra de 712 diabéticos tipo II. Intervenciones: realización, por parte de un optometrista, de una exploración de la agudeza visual, medición de la presión intraocular y fotografía de fondo de ojo con cámara de retina no midriática. Interpretación de los resultados e indicación de derivación realizada, a doble ciego, por oftalmólogos y médicos APS. Resultados: Alteración agudeza visual: médico APS 43,7%, oftalmólogo 36,1%, concordancia 70%; sospecha glaucoma: médico APS 8,8%, oftalmólogo 7,6%, concordancia 94%; retinopatía diabética: médico APS 28,2%, oftalmólogo 13,4%, concordancia 78%. Derivación Servicios Oftalmología: médico APS 56,8%, oftalmólogo 41,3% (p=0,001). Conclusiones: El nivel de concordancia en los diagnósticos entre médico APS y oftalmólogo hace fiable la exploración oftalmológica del paciente diabético desde el ámbito de la APS. A pesar del supradiagnóstico y del 16% de derivación no justificada realizada por parte del médico APS, se evita la derivación a las consultas de oftalmología, de cerca de la mitad de los pacientes diabéticos.
