We evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of dry eye disease(DED) in the rural setting and in Visual display terminal(VDT) users. The prevalence of DED among rural was held in Koumi town, and for VDT users was in tertiary industry companies in Osaka. We found the prevalence of dry eye in the mountainous areas was 12. 5% in men, 21. 6% in women, and in VDT workers was 8. 0% for men and women was 18. 7. The risk factors for DED in the mountainous region in males was low-body mass index(BMI), use contact lenses, and high blood pressure, for woman were VDT and contact lenses(CL) use, myocardial infarction or angina pectoris. For VDT users, elderly, prolonged working hours of VDT, have been proven.
