Study summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of visual fatigue and dry eye level under different correlated color temperature modes, and to evaluate the effect of new designed dynamic color temperature change modes on the improvement of visual fatigue and dry eye level.

Read the detailed description

The effect of electronic display devices on visual fatigue of human eyes was the primary evaluation index and the primary outcome index of this experiment. Secondary outcome indicators were tear film break-up time, tear lipid analysis, conjunctival congestion score and subjective visual fatigue score. Other outcome indicators were eyeblink detection, accommodative function and Schirmer test. Baseline values of the above metrics were measured separately before each group of trials and then, after 50 minutes of e-text reading, specific values of the different metrics were collected when using different color temperature modes and all valid measurements were statistically compared and analysed. To assess the effect of new designed dynamic color temperature change modes on reducing visual fatigue and dry eye symptoms.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • No intervention
    6500K group

    This is the group that performs visual evoked tasks using conventional color temperature mode of whose vaule is 6500K. In this group, the impact of the same text content on the visual fatigue and comphrehensive analysis of tear film were assessed, including but not limited to indicators such as blinking detection, visual function and so on.

  • Experimental
    sigmoid change group

    This is the group that performs visual evoked tasks using dynamic color temperature change mode 1 which changes from 6500K to 4000K. In this group, the impact of the same text content on the visual fatigue and comphrehensive analysis of tear film were assessed, including but not limited to indicators such as blinking detection, visual function and so on.

    Behavioral: color temperature change mode

  • Experimental
    gradient change group

    This is the group that performs visual evoked tasks using dynamic color temperature change mode 2 which changes from 6500K to 4000K. In this group, the impact of the same text content on the visual fatigue and comphrehensive analysis of tear film were assessed, including but not limited to indicators such as blinking detection, visual function and so on.

    Behavioral: color temperature change mode

Interventions

  • Behavioralcolor temperature change mode

    Subjects are asked to read a terminal display device for 50 minutes, featuring texts with different color temperature mode treatments. Specifically, they will read the same text content for 50 minutes with different color temperature mode. The participants will complete a total of 2 sets of tests in a random order.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Critical flicker fusion frequency

    Critical flicker fusion frequency 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.

    Time frame: Participants underwent three randomized experimental conditions through study completion, an average of 1 months. For each condition, CFF test was administered at baseline (pre-experiment) and post-task,totaling six completions per participant.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual fatigue

    The visual fatigue questionnaire utilized in this study consists of a self-report survey with a total of 16 items. It is designed to comprehensively assess the severity of visual fatigue symptoms, with a scoring system ranging from 0 to 4. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms, encompassing three primary domains: ocular symptoms, visual discomfort, and psychological aspects triggered by visual fatigue.

    Time frame: Participants underwent three randomized experimental conditions through study completion, an average of 1 months. For each condition, visual fatigue test was administered at baseline and post-task,totaling six completions per participant.

  2. tear break-up time

    This clinical study included tear film breakup time measurement using keratograph-7000,OCULUS immediately after each VDT task, reflecting tear film stability, and evaluating the degree of dry eye

    Time frame: Participants underwent three randomized experimental conditions through study completion, an average of 1 months. For each condition, CFF test was administered at baseline (pre-experiment) and post-task,totaling six completions per participant.

  3. Measurement of Accommodative Sensitivity with Flip-Chart Post-VDT Tasks

    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.

    Time frame: Participants underwent three randomized experimental conditions through study completion, an average of 1 months. For each condition, CFF test was administered at baseline (pre-experiment) and post-task,totaling six completions per participant.

Other outcomes

  1. equivalent refraction

    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.

    Time frame: Participants underwent three randomized experimental conditions through study completion, an average of 1 months. For each condition, CFF test was administered at baseline (pre-experiment) and post-task,totaling six completions per participant.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2025 to primary completion in Nov 2025, 2 months.

Of 31 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Asthenopia, half reached primary completion within 3 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 9. This study's 2 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 38 studies reached it within 3 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 9.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
