Research topics: Vision Performance Management in the Digital Era: Development of a Device for Simple Quantitative Evaluation of Visual Fatigue and Detection of Appropriate Distance for Smartphone Use

Keyword

Summary: Recently, smartphones and other digital devices have become so popular worldwide that each person now has at least one of them. Digital devices have become an indispensable part of our lives. On the other hand, the number of patients complaining of visual fatigue due to digital devices is rapidly increasing and has become an international health issue. However, no test method has been established to quantitatively evaluate visual fatigue.
In a previous study, I developed a binocular fusion maintenance test, which was independent of aging and reproducible in the quantitative evaluation of visual fatigue. In this study, I will optimize a device that can be used in clinical practice to evaluate binocular fusion maintenance and investigate the relationship between smartphone use and ocular fatigue.

Message

New digital devices are expected to continue to be developed and widespread in the future. Visual fatigue varies according to individual senses. I hope to reduce the number of patients suffering from visual fatigue caused by digital devices by quantifying the fuzziness of visual fatigue.
