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 (RReye)
Étude du Comportement Visuel et de la Qualité Visuelle Induits Par la Fatigue Oculaire Numérique Chez Les Personnes Emmétropes et Myopes Présentant ou Non Des Signes et Symptômes de Sécheresse Oculaire
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.
