Background : The exposure of cigarette smoke from active smokers has a negative impact for surrounding environst, including children. The mucosa in the eye’s conjunctiva is very sensitive to a variety of irritating chemicals and gases which contained in cigarette smoke and can cause conjunctival redness, hyperlacrimation and dry eye syndrome. Dry eye syndrome is a complex symptom that occurs as a result of various diseases that are associated with reduced volume or components of tears, excessive tear evaporation, eyelid surface abnormalities, or epithelium. Objective : The purpose of this study was to know the correlation between passive smoking as a risk factor of dry eye syndrome on children 13–19 years old. Method : This study was an observational analytic with cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 60 children aged 13–19 years who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research instrument used a questionnaire and OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index). The data analysis used Spearman-Rank correlation. Results : The mean age of respondents was 15.9±0.4 years and the mean value of OSDI score was 24.2±1.0. The bivariat analysis shows that there is a weak correlation (r = 0.212) and not statistically significant (p = 0.105). Conclusion : Passive smoking as a risk factor for dry eye syndrome on children 13–19 years old has a weak correlation and not statistically significant.
