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.
In this study, I simplified the binocular fusion maintenance test developed in a previous study to evaluate visual fatigue. I succeeded in reducing the size of the device and the test time from 50 to 30 seconds while maintaining the measurement accuracy. Then, I investigated the optimal viewing distance using a smartphone to avoid visual fatigue. My results suggested that use at a viewing distance of 50 cm is preferable to reduce the risk of smartphone-induced visual fatigue.
