Assessing the quality of educational short videos on dry eye care: a cross-sectional study
TikTok holds significant potential for disseminating health information, primarily through content created by medical professionals. Currently, much of the content focuses on the symptoms and management of dry eye, with limited discussion on its definition, classification, and diagnosis. While most video content is reliable, there is a risk of incomplete or inaccurate information, these videos can serve as a reference. Therefore, the public should exercise caution when seeking information on dry eye through TikTok and individuals experiencing symptoms are advised to consult healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
