Brief Summary

This study examines how myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) affect the use of progressive addition lenses (PALs) for computer users. PALs offer a range of vision correction within one lens, ideal for presbyopia (age-related near focusing difficulty). We'll compare visual comfort, eye strain, and user preference for PALs between myopic and hyperopic individuals while focusing on computer screens.

Conditions

Myopia; Hypermetropia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Visual Acuity

  Assessing visual acuity at different distances, including distance vision (for activities such as viewing the computer screen) and near vision (for reading text on the screen), while wearing progressive addition lenses.

  12 Months

• Subjective Visual Comfort

  Using standardized questionnaires or subjective ratings from participants to assess their comfort level while using computers with progressive addition lenses.

  12 months

• Visual Fatigue

  Assessing the level of visual fatigue experienced by participants during or after prolonged computer use with the progressive addition lenses. This could involve subjective ratings of eye strain, tiredness, or discomfort.

Interventions

Myopia BEHAVIORAL

Participants in this arm would receive progressive addition lenses specifically designed to correct myopia. These lenses would typically have a prescription for correcting nearsightedness (myopia) in addition to any other vision corrections needed, such as astigmatism correction and presbyopia. The participants would wear these lenses while using computers according to the study protocol.

Myopia

Hypermetropia OTHER

Participants in this arm would receive progressive addition lenses specifically designed to correct hypermetropia. These lenses would typically have a prescription for correcting farsightedness (hypermetropia) in addition to any other vision corrections needed, such as astigmatism correction and presbyopia. The participants would wear these lenses while using computers according to the study protocol.
