Abstract

With the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are using screens than ever before. This study examined the relationship between screentime and visual fatigue symptoms. Participants completed an online survey reporting experienced symptoms and screentime usage. Results indicated that those who had more than eight hours of screentime reported significantly higher symptoms.
