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

Sponsor: Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

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.

Interventions

DEVICE

Full-spectrum screen bar light

The full-spectrum screen bar light will be used as task lighting during an approximately 2-hour standardized screen task in a controlled laboratory environment. Participants will complete computer-based text processing, screen reading, or viewing of specified video materials to simulate prolonged near-screen use.

OTHER

Brightness-matched screen task without screen bar lighting

Participants will complete the standardized screen task without using a screen bar light. Screen brightness will be adjusted to match the brightness condition of the full-spectrum screen bar lighting arm. The task type, content, duration, and completion requirements will be the same as those in the experimental arm.
