A Study of Full-Spectrum Screen Lighting for Reducing Screen-Related Eye Fatigue and Dry Eye

Resumo breve

This study will evaluate whether full-spectrum screen bar lighting can reduce eye fatigue and dry eye symptoms after a standardized screen task. Prolonged screen use is common in daily work and study and may cause blurred vision, eye soreness, dryness, headache, and reduced attention. Light environment may be one way to improve visual comfort during screen use, but more controlled clinical evidence is needed. In this randomized, parallel-group controlled study, 112 healthy adult participants will be assigned to either a full-spectrum screen bar lighting group or a brightness-matched control group without screen bar lighting. Participants in both groups will complete an approximately 2-hour standardized screen task in a controlled laboratory environment. The study will compare changes before and after the task in objective and subjective measures of visual fatigue and dry eye, including critical flicker fusion frequency, visual fatigue questionnaire scores, eye movement and blinking parameters, pupil parameters, tear film-related measurements, and dry eye symptom scores. Safety and discomfort during the study will also be recorded.
