ABSTRACT
The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in digital screen time. This extended screen time has led to an increase in visual fatigue levels in the users of digital information displays. Users of these displays tend to ignore the visual fatigue in the initial stages thus causing it to accumulate over time. A visual fatigue level beyond the circadian limit can lead to serious problems. In order to avoid the build-up of visual fatigue to such an extent, it is imperative that the visual fatigue level of the users is checked and managed at regular intervals. This research work was aimed at developing an easy to administer digital test for checking the visual fatigue level of the digital information display users. The decline in visual accommodation with increase in visual fatigue has been used as the basis for developing this test. The digital test has been calibrated against the readings from a standard visual fatigue test. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
