Focal brain injuries, such as stroke, cause local structural damage as well as alteration of neuronal activity in distant brain regions. Experimental evidence suggests that one of these changes is the appearance of sleep-like slow waves in the otherwise awake individual. This pattern is prominent in areas surrounding the damaged region and can extend to connected brain regions in a way consistent with the individual's specific long-range connectivity patterns.

Objectives: Owing to widespread mask use during the COVID-19 pandemic and clinical reports tying mask use with dryness, this study endeavors to determine if mask use is linked to symptoms of dry eye.

Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional survey study was performed. The survey used a modified Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness Questionnaire (SPEED, TearScience, Morrisville, NC) within 15 min of the beginning and discontinuation of mask wear.

To determine the risk of mask-associated dry eye (MADE), we investigated the fluorescein tear break-up time (FBUT), ocular surface temperature and blood flow, along with corneal sensitivity, in mask wearers. We enrolled 60 mask wearers (mean age, 27.1 ± 5.
