Heightened visual light sensitivity discomfort measured by the ocular photosensitivity analyzer is associated with chronic ocular pain
Purpose
To quantify visual photosensitivity discomfort thresholds (VPDT) in individuals with chronic ocular pain (COP) compared to controls without COP and explore relationships between VPDT, demographics, clinical factors, and ocular metrics.
Methods
Prospective case-control study of 75 participants: 36 with COP (age 46.5 ± 15.6 years; 56 % female) and 39 controls (39.2 ± 15.6 years; 56 % female). COP was defined by self-reported ocular pain intensity ≥15 on a numerical rating scale (range, 0–100) for ≥3 months. COP cases were subclassified into inflammatory (Sjögren's disease) and neuropathic ocular pain subgroups. VPDT was measured using the Ocular Photosensitivity Analyzer (OPA), and ocular symptoms were assessed using the Visual Light Sensitivity Questionnaire (VLSQ-8; 8–40) and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI; 0–100), with OSDI Question 1 addressing light sensitivity (OSDI-Q1; 0–4).
Results
COP patients exhibited lower VPDT than controls (log lux, 1.60 ± 1.17 vs. 2.42 ± 1.05; P = 0.006), indicating greater photosensitivity discomfort. No differences in VPDT were seen across COP subtypes. COP patients also reported greater symptom severity than controls, with higher VLSQ-8 (21.92 ± 1.41 vs. 9.03 ± 0.53), OSDI (50.84 ± 3.88 vs. 2.82 ± 0.85), and OSDI-Q1 (2.00 ± 0.24 vs. 0.14 ± 0.06) scores (all P < 0.001). VPDT negatively correlated with VLSQ-8 (ρ = −0.75) and OSDI-Q1 (ρ = −0.62), demonstrating alignment between subjective light sensitivity symptoms and OPA-measured photosensitivity discomfort. Multivariable regression identified fibromyalgia as the strongest predictor of VPDT (19.6 % variance explained), with chronic fatigue improving the model (26.5 %).
Conclusion
COP subjects display greater photosensitivity-related discomfort than controls, highlighting the OPA's potential as a psychophysical tool for quantifying photoallodynia. Further research is needed to assess its diagnostic utility across COP subtypes.
期刊介绍:
The Ocular Surface, a quarterly, a peer-reviewed journal, is an authoritative resource that integrates and interprets major findings in diverse fields related to the ocular surface, including ophthalmology, optometry, genetics, molecular biology, pharmacology, immunology, infectious disease, and epidemiology. Its critical review articles cover the most current knowledge on medical and surgical management of ocular surface pathology, new understandings of ocular surface physiology, the meaning of recent discoveries on how the ocular surface responds to injury and disease, and updates on drug and device development. The journal also publishes select original research reports and articles describing cutting-edge techniques and technology in the field.
