Interviewers collected demographic and lifestyle data from participants aged \u226520 years. DED symptoms were assessed using a standard six-item validated questionnaire. The presence of one or more of the six dry eye symptoms often or all the time was considered positive for DED symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, 2378 people completed the survey of whom 1397 (58.7%) were males and 981 (41.3%) were females. The crude and overall age-adjusted prevalence for any positive symptom was 6.5% and 6.8% (95% CI: 5.8\u20137.8%), respectively. The commonest symptom was red eyes (2.8%) followed by burning sensation (1.8%), foreign body sensation (1.7%), dry eyes (1.2%), gummy eyes (1.2%), and crusts on eyelashes (0.8%). The associated risk factors were female sex, use of digital display, smoking and stay in an air-conditioned environment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of DED symptoms in this urban Indian population was less than the prevalence reported in most other population-based studies from outside India, and lower than other hospital-based studies from India. Hence, DED prevalence in India is either lower than current estimates or is non-uniform in distribution.<\/jats:p>\n
