Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the visual and ocular outcomes associated with Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) among university students and young staff members who spend significant time on digital screens. Participants aged 20-30, who have been using screens for more than three hours daily over the past three years, will be assessed using a multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) device to evaluate their eye health. The study aims to enhance understanding of the impact of digital technology on visual performance and overall eye health, addressing misconceptions and promoting protective measures through educational programs.
