Brief summary
With the widespread use of electronic display devices, the potential hazards of blue light have become an important public health issue. The primary assessment and main outcome indicators of this experiment are the evaluation of the protective effects of a new type of filtering glasses on visual fatigue in the human eye. Secondary outcome indicators include tear film break-up time, accommodative facility, and subjective visual fatigue scores. Other outcome measurement indicators include visual function indicators such as accommodation and convergence. Baseline values of the above indicators were measured separately, and then specific numerical values of different indicators were collected after working with VDT devices while wearing the new type of filtering glasses or regular framed glasses. These values were statistically compared and analyzed with the baseline values. The study aims to assess the impact of the new type of filtering glasses on relieving visual fatigue and improving visual function.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Critical flicker fusion frequency | Participants underwent two randomized experimental conditions. For each condition, CFF test was administered at baseline (pre-experiment), post-task on day 1, and post-task on day 7, totaling six completions per participant. | CFF was measured before and after the task by a flicker fusion frequency detection device to assess changes in the degree of ocular fatigue. To compare the difference in CFF after wearing anti-blue glasses with normal glasses and to evaluate the effect of anti-blue glasses in preventing asthenopia. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual fatigue | Participants underwent two randomized experimental conditions. For each condition, visual fatigue questionnaires were administered at baseline (pre-experiment), post-task on day 1, and post-task on day 7, totaling six completions per participant. | The visual fatigue questionnaire utilized in this study consists of a self-report survey with a total of 19 items. It is designed to comprehensively assess the severity of visual fatigue symptoms, with a scoring system ranging from 1 to 7. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms, encompassing three primary domains: ocular symptoms, visual discomfort, and psychological aspects triggered by visual fatigue. |
| Measurement of Accommodative Sensitivity with Flip-Chart Post-VDT Tasks | Participants underwent two randomized experimental conditions. For each condition, flip- chart tests were administered at baseline (pre-experiment), post-task on day 1, and post-task on day 7, totaling six completions per participant. | This clinical study involves the assessment of accommodative sensitivity for both monocular and binocular vision using a flip-chart immediately following each VDT task. The measurement will quantify the number of optotypes correctly identified within one minute, indicative of the subject's accommodative capacity. |
| Break up time | Participants underwent two randomized experimental conditions. For each condition, BUT tests were administered at baseline (pre-experiment), post-task on day 1, and post-task on day 7, totaling six completions per participant. | This clinical study included tear film breakup time measurement using fluorescein sodium stained paper immediately after each VDT task, reflecting tear film stability, and evaluating the degree of dry eye |
| AC/A Ratio Measurement Post-VDT Tasks | Participants underwent two randomized experimental conditions. For each condition, AC/A ratio test was administered at baseline (pre-experiment), post-task on day 1, and post-task on day 7, totaling six completions per participant. | This study involves the measurement of the AC/A ratio, which is a critical parameter in binocular vision assessment, reflecting the relationship between accommodation (focus adjustment) and convergence (ocular alignment). The AC/ A ratio will be determined using the prism bar technique, which involve adding lenses to stimulate accommodation and measuring the resulting changes in convergence. |
| equivalent refraction | Participants underwent two randomized experimental conditions. For each condition, SE test was administered at baseline (pre-experiment), post-task on day 1, and post-task on day 7, totaling six completions per participant. | This clinical study included testing subjects for equivalent refraction diopters, which can indirectly reflect changes in the degree of myopia in the eye after the use of VDT at close range |
