Zusammenfassung

Das „trockene Auge“ ist eine chronische, degenerative Erkrankung der Bindehaut- und Hornhautoberfläche. Die Ätiologie der Konjunktivitis sicca ist noch nicht gänzlich geklärt, wobei eine Vielzahl von externen als auch internen Faktoren starken Einfluss auf die Pathogenese der „trockenen Augen“ haben können.

Der erste Schritt in der Diagnose des „trockenen Auges“ ist eine genaue Anamnese. Diese kann grob in eine allgemeine und eine siccaspezifische Anamnese aufgeteilt werden. Die Anamnese soll helfen, eine ätiologische Zuordnung der Krankheit empirisch aber auch aus der Krankengeschichte zu finden.

Wir möchten in dieser Arbeit den Fragebogen für das „trockene Auge“ der Ambulanz für Konjunktivitis sicca und Akupunktur, der Universitätsklinik für Augenheilkunde und Optometrie, Wien vorstellen.

Das Ergebnis unserer Überlegungen führte zu folgenden Frageblöcken: 1) Subjektive Beschwerden, 2) Auslösende Ursachen, 3) Ätiologische Faktoren aus immunologischen, hormonellen, toxischen und nervalen Faktoren, 4) allgemeine und psychosoziale Belastungen, sowie 5) die Erfassung des Therapieschemas.

Ziel des Fragebogens ist die übersichtliche Erfassung des Krankheitsbildes und die dadurch mögliche Optimierung der Behandlung des „trockenen Auges“.

Summary

The dry eye syndrom is a chronic, degenerative illness of the conjunctiva and cornea surface. The etiology of the conjunctivitis sicca is not yet completely clarified, where a multiplicity of external and internal factors can have strong influence on the pathogenesis of the dry eye syndrom. The first and fundamental step in the diagnosis of the dry eye is an exact anamnesis. This questionnaire can be divided roughly in a general- and a sicca specific anamnesis.

In this work we would like to present the questionnaire for “dry eye syndrom” used in the in the Department of ophthalmology and optometry, University hospital of Vienna, Medical school.

The result of our considerations led to the following question blocks: 1) Subjective complaints, 2) Releasing causes, 3) Aetiology factors including immunological, hormonal, toxic and nerval pathways, 4) General and psychosocial stress, as well as 5) the acquisition of therapy patterns.

The goal of the questionnaire is to produce a concise and precise recordal of the disease, which should lead to a optimization of the treatment of the „dry eye syndrom“.
