A Study of Full-Spectrum Screen Lighting for Reducing Screen-Related Eye Fatigue and Dry Eye
A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effects of Full-Spectrum Screen Bar Lighting on Visual Fatigue and Dry Eye After a Standardized Screen Task
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.

상세 설명
Prolonged use of electronic screens is increasingly common in work, study, and daily life and may lead to visual fatigue and dry eye-related symptoms. These symptoms may include blurred vision, eye soreness, dryness, headache, and reduced attention. Although behavioral strategies such as taking breaks and adjusting viewing distance are commonly recommended, their effectiveness may be limited by individual adherence. Optimizing the lighting environment during screen use may provide a standardized and practical approach to improving visual comfort.
This is a single-center, randomized, parallel-group controlled study designed to evaluate the effects of full-spectrum screen bar lighting during a standardized screen task. Eligible healthy adult participants with regular daily screen exposure will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a full-spectrum screen bar lighting group or a brightness-matched control group without screen bar lighting. Both groups will complete the same approximately 2-hour standardized screen task in a controlled laboratory environment. The task may include computer-based text processing, screen reading, or viewing specified video materials, with the task content, duration, and completion requirements kept consistent between groups.
Assessments will be performed before and immediately after the standardized screen task. The study will evaluate changes in objective and subjective measures of visual fatigue, ocular behavioral parameters, and dry eye-related indicators. These include critical flicker fusion frequency, visual fatigue questionnaire scores, eye movement, blinking and pupil parameters, tear film-related measurements, conjunctival redness, and dry eye symptom scores. Safety will be assessed by recording any discomfort or adverse events, such as glare discomfort, eye dryness, tearing, conjunctival redness, headache, nausea, or dizziness.
This study is expected to provide clinical evidence on whether full-spectrum screen bar lighting can help reduce screen-related visual fatigue and dry eye symptoms, and may support the development of lighting strategies for visual health in daily screen-use environments.

실험적: Full-Spectrum Screen Bar Lighting
Participants assigned to this arm will complete an approximately 2-hour standardized screen task in a controlled laboratory environment using a full-spectrum screen bar light (MB23001032H-1B) as task lighting.
The screen task may include computer-based text processing, screen reading, or viewing specified video materials.
Task content, duration, and completion requirements will be kept consistent with the control arm.

위약 비교기: Brightness-Matched Control
Participants assigned to this arm will complete the same approximately 2-hour standardized screen task in the same controlled laboratory environment without using a full-spectrum screen bar light or any additional screen bar lighting.
Screen brightness will be adjusted to match the brightness condition of the full-spectrum screen bar lighting arm.
Task content, duration, and completion requirements will be kept consistent with the experimental arm.

Change in Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency
기간: Baseline and immediately after completion of the approximately 2-hour standardized screen task
|
Critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF) will be measured in Hz using the Handy Flicker HF-III device.
The outcome will be calculated as the post-task CFF value minus the baseline CFF value.
This measure will be used as an objective indicator of visual fatigue after the standardized screen task.

Eye dryness will be assessed using the Eye Dryness Score on a 0-100 visual analog scale.
Participants will indicate the severity of eye dryness by placing a mark on a 100-mm horizontal line, where 0 represents no eye dryness and 100 represents the most severe eye dryness.
Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.
The change score will be calculated as the score immediately after the standardized screen task minus the baseline score.
A positive change indicates worsening of eye dryness, whereas a negative change indicates improvement.
