Purpose: To determine the relationship of goblet cell density (GCD) with tear function and ocular surface physiology. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 35 asymptomatic subjects with mean age 23.8±3.6 years. Tear film assessment, conjunctiva and cornea examination were done in each subject. Conjunctival impression cytology was performed by applying Nitrocellulose Millipore MFTM-Membrane filter over the superior bulbar conjunctiva. The filter paper was than fixed with 96% ethanol and stained with Periodic Acid Schiff, Hematoxylin and Eosin. GCD was determined by optical microscopy. Relation between GCD and Schirmer score, tear break-up time (TBUT), bulbar redness, limbal redness and corneal staining was determined. Results: The mean GCD was 151±122 cells/mm2. GCD was found higher in eyes with higher Schirmer score but it was not significant (p = 0.75). There was a significant relationship ofGCDwith TBUT (p = 0.042). GCD was not correlated with bulbar redness (p = 0.126), and limbal redness (p = 0.054) as well as corneal staining (p = 0.079). No relationship of GCD with age and gender of the subjects (p > 0.05) was observed. Conclusion: GCD was found correlated with TBUT but no significant correlation was found with the aqueous portion of the tear, limbal as well as bulbar redness and corneal staining.

Objetivo principal: O presente artigo tem como meta descrever o processo de validação para a língua Portuguesa, do Questionário de Atitudes e Barreiras em relação à Prática Baseada na Evidência. Metodologia: Desenvolveu-se um estudo metodológico, transversal. Para a adaptação cultural, foi efetuada uma tradução bidirecional de acordo com os padrões usuais. Para determinar a validade de constructo efetuou-se uma Análise dos Componentes Principais. A fiabilidade do questionário foi avaliada com recurso ao alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: Participaram 244 sujeitos, correspondendo a uma taxa de resposta de 64,2%. A versão em estudo apresenta 26 itens e tem uma consistência interna aceitável (a =0,60). A análise de componentes principais sugere oito dimensões que explicam 55,7% do total da variância. Conclusões: A análise demonstrou evidência empírica de que o questionário é válido para ser utilizado no contexto estudado.
