Summary
This study tests whether a full-spectrum screen bar light can reduce eye fatigue and dry eye symptoms after two hours of computer work. Healthy adults aged 18 to 35 who use screens at least four hours daily will be randomly assigned to use the light or a standard screen without it. Researchers will measure changes in eye fatigue, blinking, tear film, and dry eye symptoms before and after the task.
