The dry eyes score was 11.26±8.18 in average. There was a significant difference in groups less than 8 hours of sleeping time, more than 3 cups of caffeine per day and using computer for 3~5 hours per day. The dry mouth score was 15.76±10.39 in average. There was a significant difference in the item of using computers for 3~5 hours per day.
