A total of 100 questionnaire were collected, quantitative approach was used to determine dry eye using schimer’s strip and the data were analyzed using Pearson chi-square. The study discovered the percentage of age group of the participant which 53(53%) fell within 23-27 years with 28(28.0%) males and 25(25%) females, while 18-22years 38(38%) with 18(18%) males and 20(20%) females, 28-32years 9(9.0%) in which 4(4.0%) were males and 5(5.0%) were females. The study showed that the mean age was 23.18 and standard deviation of ±3.160. The mean and standard deviation gotten for dry eye were 21.43±10.96. The study also showed the screen viewing time distribution among the participants within the duration of 4-6hours as the highest occurring duration with 38(38.0%), while 7-9hours was 25(25%), 1-3hours was 19(19%) and above 9hours with the least 18(18%) with the total mean of 1.42 and standard deviation ± 0.997.
