A síndrome do olho seco (SOS) é uma condição multifatorial da superfície ocular frequentemente associada ao uso prolongado de dispositivos eletrônicos. Com a intensificação do tempo de exposição a telas digitais, especialmente entre adultos jovens, cresce a preocupação com os efeitos dessa prática sobre a saúde ocular. Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão narrativa da literatura para avaliar a correlação entre síndrome do olho seco e tempo de exposição a telas digitais em adultos jovens. A busca foi realizada na base de dados PubMed, com o descritor “Dry Eye Syndromes” AND “Screen Time” AND “Adults”, considerando publicações entre 2002 e 2025. Foram encontrados 49 artigos, dos quais 19 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e foram analisados. Os estudos demonstraram associação significativa entre tempo de tela e sintomas de olho seco, com destaque para a redução da frequência do piscar, instabilidade do filme lacrimal e impacto negativo na qualidade de vida. Conclui-se que a exposição prolongada a telas digitais configura fator de risco importante para o desenvolvimento da síndrome do olho seco em adultos jovens, sendo necessária maior atenção preventiva e assistencial diante desse cenário.
