Study of Eye Fatigue From Digital Screens and Its Impact on Visual Performance in People With Normal Vision and Myopia, With and Without Dry Eye Symptoms and Signs
Sponsor: Essilor International
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the effects of eye fatigue induced by screen task on dry eye disease (DED) signs and symptoms, visual performance, and visual behavior in young adults with and without DED and with normal vision and myopia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a screen task that induces eye fatigue affect dry eye signs and symptoms, visual quality, and visual behavior? * Are the effects of this screen task different in individuals with and without DED, and are they associated with myopia? Researchers will compare participants with and without DED to determine whether they respond differently to a screen task designed to induce eye fatigue. They will also explore potential relationships between DED and myopia. Participants will: * Attend two study visits. * Complete eligibility screening and realize visual and eye assessments. * Be classified as having or not having DED based on a questionnaire and clinical eye examinations. * Perform a screen task designed to induce eye fatigue. * Perform measurements before and after a screen task, including assessments of DED signs and symptoms, blinking behavior, eye movements, visual performance, and physiological responses with a smartwatch.

Conditions
Interventions
Eye Exams
Participants undergo several visual examinations (visual function, visual refraction, visual acuity).
Ocular Biometry and Aberrometry
Participants complete ocular aberrometric and biometric measurements.
Wearing a Smartwatch
Participants wear an smartwatch to measure their physiological activity.
Wearing Visual Correction
Participants are equipped with appropriate vision correction through spectacle lenses.
Eye-Blinking Tests
Before and after a digital eye strain task, participants perform eye-blinking tests on a screen.
Retinal Examination
Before and after a digital eye strain task, participants undergo a retinal examination.
Assessment of Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye
Before and after a digital eye strain task, participants' signs and symptoms of dry eye are assessed.
Assessment of Digital Eye Strain Symptoms
Before and after a digital eye strain task, participants assess their symptoms of digital eye strain.
Contrast Sensitivity Assessment
Before and after a digital eye strain task, participants perform contrast sensitivity tests.
Digital Eye Strain Task
Participants perform a 30-minute task designed to induce digital eye strain. During this task, eye movements, including blinking behavior, saccade and fixation behavior, are recorded by an eye tracker.
